This Annex describes the principles of qualification and validation which are applicable to the facilities, equipment, utilities and processes used for the manufacture of medicinal products, including validation of packaging. It is a GMP requirement that manufacturer’s control the critical aspects of their particular operations through qualification and validation over the life cycle of the product and process.
