Do we need to perform Analytical Method Validation upon Relocation?

Hello,

I was recently appointed quality control officer in my laboratory. My analytical laboratory is seeking ISO 17025 accreditation.

I was wondering if our lab was to expand to another location, would we have to re-validate our test method at the new location?

We are validating an HPLC analysis test method in one location, and then moving that HPLC to a newer location.

Thank you

It's be a while since I dealt with this, but you should not need to re-validate the method. You should however show that the instrument was not damaged during the move and provides the same values.:2cents:

Thank you!

We also have other methods such as a microbiological method here in California. Would we have to revalidate this method in another location assuming that all the materials we use are exactly the same?

Microbio is not my area so I'll let someone more knowledgeable comment on that. Sorry

Some level of revalidation is always a good idea as you have to account for the human element. Furthermore in the case of ISO 17025 this data can be also used to demonstrate proficiency among your labs.

Regarding the HPLC, I think a System Suitability would be fine.

For Microbiological methods, if it is a compendial method, there is no need for validation.
