2.0 PURPOSE AND INTRODUCTION
2.1 INTRODUCTION
The validation program at the Springfield, NY Facility is intended to satisfy current domestic
and international regulations, guidelines and policies for drugs, biologics and APIs to verify
the equipment, systems, utilities, software and processes are properly designed, installed,
and function as intended in a consistent and controlled manner. The validation program
complies with Corporate Quality Standards and Polices (Ref. SOP-XXXX – Validation
Program).
The revision of the Site Validation Master Plan (SVMP) comes from the validation
philosophy changes resulting from the implementation of the “validation lifecycle” approach
at Springfield, NY Facility. The changes made in this revision of the Springfield, NY Facility
SVMP bring the plan into alignment with the new lifecycle approach. The Springfield, NY
Facility has developed the site validation governance document SOP-XXXX, “Validation
Project Life Cycle Approach at the Springfield, NY Facility”, which defines the
validation philosophy to be used for validation at Springfield, NY Facility. SOP-XXXX uses
a risk-based approach with emphasis on verification and qualification that is focused on the
high risk attributes of facilities, utilities, equipment, and processes. This SVMP introduces
use of subordinate VMPs (sub-VMPs) that are categorized into eight areas and address the
full scope of Validation requirements applicable to the Springfield, NY Facility site in
support of SVMP.
2.2 PURPOSE
The purpose of validation is to assure that the facility, manufacturing process, and
supporting services are capable of supporting the manufacture of pharmaceutical product
that consistently meets its predetermined quality attributes. For this reason, each facet of
the Springfield, NY Facility site related to CGMP manufacture, monitoring, storage, and
testing will be validated. The Validation program is integral to design, construction /
fabrication, and CGMP Operation of the facility. Validation testing is intended to proactively
establish CGMP compliance prior to initiating manufacture of commercial product for
distribution. In addition, the sustenance operations at Springfield, NY Facility, such as
quality change control, calibration program, preventive maintenance, and periodic
requalification of critical equipment and processes ensure that manufacturing equipment
and processes stay under the validated state.
The purpose of this SVMP is to:
• Define the requirements and validation approach for validation of systems,
equipment, and processes at Pharma Co., Inc. Corporation’s Springfield, NY Facility.
• To list or reference the documentation supporting the current validated state of the
Springfield, NY Facility.
