PTEXIM sterilization system is Validation confirmed by EUROFINS

With the desire to ensure the best product quality, Phuc Thinh Export Import Investment Corporation (PTEXIM) has invested in a modern sterilization system, imported from Europe with a value of over 1 million EURO, reaching a capacity above 3,000 tons/year.

Going through a strict evaluation process, Eurofins – the world’s leading corporation of testing food qualities, environmental and pharmaceutical products, operating in over 50 countries, has recognized Validation value of PTEXIM steam sterilizer system.

Accordingly, the meanings of Verification and Validation although used often but easy to be misunderstood. Basically, these two concepts are completely different, Verfification is a review activity, a static testing technique, and Validation is an actual test implementation, or dynamic testing technique.

Validation is a dynamic testing technique, final products evaluation

Verification is a process of evaluating intermediate working products (may include documents formed during the development stages such as requirement specification, document design, database design, ER diagrams, test cases, traceability matrix…) of a system life to check if the product meets all standards. While, Validation is the final product evaluation process to check if the system meets all quality requirements. Validation reviews help answer questions about:

1.   Will the final products meet all quality requirements?

2.   Will the production system suitable for use and quality requirements?

3.   Check that “Have you build the right products?”

4.   Doing in conjunction with checking the system’s actual operation.

5.   Including all dynamic testing techniques, examples all test types like smoke test, regression test, functional test, systems test and UAT…
