Since there are not enough threads already regarding verification vs validation, I thought that I needed to start another one.
Please give your companies actual examples of specified requirements that are evaluated during verification, and CANNOT be considered validation.
It has been argued that validation is a form of verification, but that does not mean that all forms of verification can be considered validation.


3.8.4
verification
confirmation, through the provision of objective evidence (3.8.1), that specified requirements (3.1.2) have been fulfilled
NOTE 1 The term “verified” is used to designate the corresponding status.
NOTE 2 Confirmation can comprise activities such as
— performing alternative calculations,
— comparing a new design specification (3.7.3) with a similar proven design specification,
— undertaking tests (3.8.3) and demonstrations, and
— reviewing documents prior to issue.
3.8.5
validation
confirmation, through the provision of objective evidence (3.8.1), that the requirements (3.1.2) for a specific intended use or application have been fulfilled
NOTE 1 The term “validated” is used to designate the corresponding status.
NOTE 2 The use conditions for validation can be real or simulated.
