How Does Your Validation Program Measure Up?

Launching in 2022, the State of Validation is an annual report, powered by Kneat Solutions, comprising primary research conducted with validation professionals. It aims to create an annual dataset to track the progression of the validation industry, enabling organizations and individuals to benchmark and grow.

Running a best-practice validation program requires a skilled team, efficient value-added processes, regulatory understanding, and a commitment to quality at all levels of an organization. To help companies achieve this, we are sponsoring a comprehensive industry survey. The survey will gather unique validation data from companies across quality regulated industries and will help to establish benchmarks to aid them in improving their validation programs. In this article we give a short overview of the State of Validation project and answer the following five questions:

✓ Who is taking part in the project?

✓ What will the survey and report contain?

✓ When will the survey close and the report be published?

✓ Why should you take part?

✓ How can you take part?

1. Who is taking part in the State of Validation project?

We are inviting validation, compliance, and quality assurance professionals, service providers, and academics who are working in regulated industries, located all over the world, to take part in our innovative primary research project.
