Calibration :
- The act of checking or adjusting (by comparison with a standard) the accuracy of a quantitative measuring instrument.
- Calibration can be considered as a comparison between two entities, to ensure one is equal to the other, within the accepted tolerances. The entity used as a reference in the comparison is known as the standard.
- Ensure the measurements accuracy of an instrument compared to an known standard.
- Comparing against a reference standard.
- Calibration is identifying and adjusting when possibles the measurement errors of a measuring.
- Reference standard (Known standard) used in calibration.
Verification:
- Checking standard process.
- Reviewing, inspection or testing the process.
- Ensure the correct operation of equipment or a process according to its stated operating specification.
- Documenting that a process or system meets its predetermined specification and quality attributes.
- Ensure that a system satisfies the stated functional intent of the system.
- No reference standard are required in validation programme.
- Validation provides documented evidence that a process,equipment method or system produces consistent results.
- System and equipment are properly installed, and work correctly and lead to the expected results.
- Qualification is the part of validation (the initial stage) of validation.
