The ICH guidance document on Validation of Analytical Procedures, ICH Q2, has been updated to Q2(R2). A new ICH guidance document on Analytical Procedure Development, Q14, has been introduced. The combination of these two documents provides guidance on management of the analytical procedure lifecycle from initial development through to validation and post validation changes.

The aim of this short course is to fully explore the updates to Q2 in terms of: the additional information that has been introduced, and the expected benefits; the potential additional validation requirements and associated gap assessment, when compared to previous requirements; and also to provide an overview of the contents of Q14.

On completion of this training course you will:

1. Understand the changes to ICH Q2 and their significance.  
2. Be aware of the key features of ICH Q14.
3. Be able to implement the new requirements as appropriate.

This course is delivered as a ‘virtual’ live online training event which is delivered over a 3 hours and 45 minutes period, including a short break, typically from 12pm to 3:45pm (but may depend on your time zone).
