The members of the USP Validation and Verification Expert Panel have published a Stimuli article on lifecycle management of analytical procedures. In the article entitled "Lifecycle Management of Analytical Procedures: Method Development, Procedure Performance Qualification, and Procedure Performance Verification", the authors suggest that the traditional approaches to validation, transfer, and verification should be integrated into the analytical procedure lifecycle process rather than be viewed as separate entities. The article has been posted as general announcement in advance of its publication in Pharmacopeial Forum 39(6) to allow additional time for public review and comment.
