7.2 Implementation of Hardware
Validation
7.2.1 Periodic Inspection
Component and system validation must be performed at installation and every 6 to 12 months, as the
performance of an LC system changes with age. It is also important to perform maintenance such as
replacement of consumables in advance of hardware validation.
7.2.2 Daily Inspection
Check the condition of maintenance parts to ensure a high level of analysis data reliability. Also carry out
system suitability and other tests and check points such as column deterioration and mobile phase
adjustment.
7.2.3 Inspection After Maintenance
After any maintenance, component performance must be re-validated. The type of validation depends on the
actual work done. If the validation cannot be achieved solely by the specific component validation, system
validation is required.
NOTE
Maintenance information and results of hardware validation must be recorded and kept for future reference.
