• Revalidation

• If required, revalidation shall be considered and carried out when any of the following conditions occur or prevail:

• Change in critical formulation component i.e. raw material

• Change in manufacturer or vendor of Active Pharmaceutical Ingredient

• Change in critical specifications of the product

• Change in manufacturing process which may affect the quality of the products.

• Change in the facility and /or plant (location or site)

• Change in batch size, if more than ten times of the present batch size

• Note:  In case of the requirements for revalidation, because of above mentioned reasons, the validation of the critical steps shall be undertaken through addendum protocol to this protocol or a separate protocol.

• Deviations and Investigations
