\"Temperature<\/a>The words qualification and validation are used interchangeably in the cold chain industry especially pharma industry. However, there are slight differences between the two. We are trying to explain the difference in this article.<\/p>\n

What is a qualification of an asset used in pharma?<\/h2>\n

Basically, temperature qualification is on equipment or assets used to store medicines, vaccines etc. This involves temperature mapping study, design qualification, performance\u00a0qualification, operation qualification etc.\u00a0 Please see our detailed page on\u00a0Temperature qualification study<\/a> for more details. We carry out a qualification study to prove that the particular asset is good enough to store the medicine.
\n\"Temperature<\/a>
\nEg. Temperature qualification is applicable for assets such as a medicine cold room to certify that it is good for storing the medicines between 2 to 8\u00b0C under all operational conditions within the cold room.<\/p>\n

What is validation?<\/h3>\n

The validation is done for\u00a0methods and processes. A process involves multiple steps possible involving multiple assets as well. It can be for a process within the same asset as well. Please see few example\u00a0below for better understanding.<\/p>\n
