Webinar on Analytical Instrument Qualification According The New Revision of USP 1058

The first version of USP <1058> has been released in 2008. Since then it has evolved as the global standard for analytical instrument qualification, despite of some deficiencies of the first version.

For example, the industry had difficulties to apply the chapter for systems comprising equipment hardware and computer systems. In addition, there have always been comments about not enough details for the four qualification phases. These deficiencies have been clarified in the new revision with much more details on integrated systems but still some interpretation is required for compliant and efficient implementation. This webinar will discuss all details and give strategies and case studies for easy implementation.
