Quality is always an imperative prerequisite when we consider any product. It becomes prime when it relates to life saving products like pharmaceuticals. Although it is mandatory from the government and regulatory bodies but it is also a fact that quality of a pharmaceutical product can not be adequately controlled solely by pharmacopoeia analysis of the final product. Today quality has to be built in to the product right from its inception and rigorous international environmental, safety and regulatory standards need to be followed. Validation had proven to be an important tool for quality management of pharmaceuticals. According to ISO 9000:2000 Validation is defined as \"Confirmation, through the provision of objective evidence, that the requirements for a specific intended use or application have been fulfilled\". In contrast with Verification, Validation rather focuses on the question whether a system can perform its desired functions. This review is an attempt to prove it as essential tool for quality management in pharmaceutical industry.
