Pharmaceutical Process Validation An International Third Edition Drugs and the Pharmaceutical Sciences

The third edition of Pharmaceutical Process Validation represents a new approach to the topic in several important respects. Many of us in the field had made the assumption that pharmaceutical process validation was an American invention, based on the pioneering work of Theodore E. Byers and Bernard T. Loftus, both formerly with the U.S. Food & Drug Administration. The truth is that many of our fundamental concepts of pharmaceutical process validation came to us from “Validation of Manufacturing Processes,” Fourth European Seminar on Quality Control, September 25, 1980, Geneva, Switzerland, and Validation in Practice, edited by H. Sucker, Wissenschaftliche Verlagsegesellschaft, GmbH, Stuttgard, Germany, 1983
