Frequently Asked Questions
Thermal Validation is the process of scientifically proving that a temperature-controlled equipment or facility consistently operates within its specified limits. It is a critical regulatory requirement (FDA, MHRA, WHO) to ensure product safety, quality, and efficacy.
Common equipment includes Autoclaves, Dry Heat Sterilizers, Freezers (-80C to -20C), Refrigerators, Incubators, Stability Chambers, Cold Rooms, Warehouses, and Transport Vehicles.
Typically, validation is performed during initial qualification (IQ/OQ/PQ). After that, requalification is done annually, or whenever there are significant modifications to the equipment, control system, or load configuration.
Heat Distribution measures the uniformity of temperature within the empty or loaded chamber. Heat Penetration measures the temperature inside the actual product or simulated product to ensure the load reaches the required sterilization or storage temperature.
