ASTM E2500 CONSENSUS STANDARD
October 6, 2009 WEBINAR
NOON - 1:30 pm EDT This presentation will focus on providing an overview of the contents of the ASTM E2500 consensus standard. This important standard was finalized and issued in the summer of 2007. Because this is a consensus standard, all governmental agencies are required by law to accept its premise and abide by its requirements. So unless an agency chooses to challenge it in court, the standard will be followed. Both industry and the regulators are still reviewing it and assessing its potential impact. The main imputes for developing the standard was to reduce the cost of validation and simplify the effort for industry. The standard achieves such an objective through reducing the effort from the current established commissioning, qualification and validation approach, to verification followed by validation. The standard further suggests that verification of equipment and systems’ suitability for the intended use can be achieved through an overall quality approach, which starts at the conceptual phase of the project and continues through start-up and operation. This includes a science and risk-based evaluation to determine the extent of the effort while utilizing information developed by the suppliers all under the guidance of Subject Matter Experts (SME). By attending this presentation you will learn: - The details of the standard and how to apply them
- What is meant by Verification of suitability for intended use
- How to use a science- and risk-based approach to ensure the proper verification is conducted
- The importance of User Requirement Specifications (URS), Good Engineering Practice (GEP), Quality by Design (QbD), and SME in support of the validation effort
- The differences and similarity with the current approach to validation
- What’s in store for the immediate future?
