PPEV

Printing Process & Equipment Validation

2 daysCertificate on completion

Course overview

Validation and qualification of product as well as equipment are nowadays an integral part of the day by day routine work in the packaging industry and manufacturers are legally obligated to meet the requirements of global standards for product and equipment validation & qualification from raw materials to consumer end. Variation in the equipment or process parameters especially during packaging materials production may have a significant impact on the integrity and correct functioning of the pack, therefore packaging product process and equipment for finished and bulk products should be validated and qualified. This two days based training session addresses various topics on validation and qualification activities, validation chain, stages of qualifications, process validation, re-validation, risk management including validation global regulations and standards etc. through hands-on activities accompanied with case studies, presentations and discussion and at the end participants will leave the class with a strong understanding of advance concepts of packaging product processing and equipment validation and be able to troubleshoot a variety of product, process and equipment related issues upon return to their respective facility.
