High-quality documentation is at least as important as the software or the actual machine. The term technical documentation refers to publications in which technical facts, product-specific data or processes, maintenance instructions and repair instructions concerning the software or machine are structured and precisely prepared for a specific target group. Krempien+Petersen pursues a clear goal: the relevant, product-specific information should be presented in a way that is comprehensible for different user groups.
Our own documentation department creates all necessary documents for you in order to optimally serve your product.
Qualification
By means of a professional qualification and validation it is ensured that production plants and products correspond to the demanded high-quality standards at any time. Security can be ensured through a qualification and a validation of medicines and other products only.
During the qualification it concerns a "documented argumentation", which proves that a certain process supplies reproducibly a product, which corresponds to the before specified specifications and quality requirements.
Through our long experience and outstanding skills in this area, we can qualify our systems in cooperation with the customers. We would drive through all stages of the qualification (from the design qualification up to the performance qualification). All necessary documents will become provided in accordance with the internationally valid current guidelines and all qualification and validation work will be documented. A first-class and complete documentation is indispensable, in order to be able to occupy in the context of an inspection under a GMP compliant review of systems and processes. Obviously, we always keep the ever-increasing requirements of licensing and inspection authorities in the eye.
Practices and guidelines
The following list shows a selection of practices and guidelines, which are used in our qualification projects:
- FDA: 21 CFR Part 11 Electronic Records; Electronic Signatures
- EU-GMP-Guideline with Annex 11 "Computerised Systems"
- German Medicines Act, Pharmaceuticals Ordinance
- PIC/S-Guidance: Good Practises for Computerised Systems in Regulated "GxP"-Environments
- ICH Q7A: Good Manufacturing Practise Guide for API
- GAMP5: Good Automated Manufacturing Practise Guide for Validation of Automated Systems in Pharmaceutical Manufacture
- Validation of Process Control Systems
A qualification is not only a necessary practice in the pharmaceutical industry, especially the design qualification and the qualification plan, which is always to be prepared, brings a substantial advantage. With the introduction of new systems or machines within quality relevant ranges a qualification process should be always accomplished in the sense of the TQM. The result is an avoidance of later additional costs, since it is guaranteed that a system, a machine or also a software satisfyingly function.
