Draft versions of the revision of ICH Q2, Validation of Analytical Procedures, and also the new guideline Q14, Analytical Procedure Development, were published on the 24th March 2022. The aim of these updated and new guidelines is to provide a harmonised and scientific approach to method development and update the guidance on method validation to be more applicable for the techniques commonly used in a pharmaceutical and biopharmaceutical setting.

The aim of this short course is to fully explore the updates to Q2 in terms of potential additional validation requirements and associated gap assessment when compared to current requirements, and also to provide an overview of the contents of Q14.

On completion of this training course you will:

1. Understand the proposed 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).
