A
Accuracy - Measure used in statistics indicating the degree of closeness of an average value calculated from a large set of data to a recognized reference value. If the average value calculated from many measurements is close to the corresponding true value, the accuracy is high. However, nothing is revealed on the variance of the individual values.
Adjustment - Adjustment refers to the process of setting or comparing a tool based on a standard of known accuracy. Adjusting means changing a measuring tool in a permanent way. Tools are adjusted to avoid, to the largest possible extent, errors of measurement and errors in order not to exceed maximum permissible errors.
AMWHV - German Ordinance on the Manufacture of Medicinal Products and Active Pharmaceutical Ingredients. This ordinance represents the most important legal stipulations governing the handling of medicinal products and their active ingredients during production.
Analysis - Systematic examination separating the object to be examined in its constituent elements for examination and evaluation. The relations and interactions between the elements are considered in particular.
Audit - Systematic, independent and documented process performed by external bodies to determine to the extent to which defined requirements and specific criteria are fulfilled. Auditing is performed to assess whether an organization complies with defined values or targets.

GLP (Good Laboratory Practice) - GLP refers to an internationally applicable quality assurance system concerned with the organizational process and conditions under which non-clinical health and environmental safety studies are planned, performed, monitored, recorded, archived and reported.
GMP (Good Manufacturing Practice) - The GMP describes guidelines valid throughout Europe required to specify a quality standard for the production of pharmaceutical products and, in addition, to specify their quality. In some countries outside the EU, local GMP legislation also describes requirements regarding medical and IVD products. GMP aims at protecting the health of consumers, i.e. to provide consumer and patient protection.
Guideline - The term as several meanings. There are technical guidelines issued by an organization and specifying a scope of action. Furthermore, legal guidelines are adopted by officially and legally authorized bodies. In both cases guidelines have a certain scope of application. Infringements can be subject to sanctions depending on the respective application, e.g., under labor law.
GxP - Abbreviation for good practice rules; the „G“ referring to „good“ and the „P“ referring to „practice“. The „x“ stands for the respective abbreviation of the specific area of application. It applies to pharmaceutical products from regulated environments in the fields of production, inspection, storage and distribution and, outside the EU, also to medical and IVD products.

Installation - Process of installing individual parts to build the assembled equipment, or loading of a computer program on the PC.
IQ (Installation Qualification) - Refers to the documented verification stating that facilities, systems and equipment, such as installed or modified, comply with the approved design and the manufacturer's recommendations.
ISO - International Organization for Standardization
ISO 9001 - ISO 9001 specifies minimum requirements for a quality management system to be implemented by companies in order to meet customer requirements as well as requirements with regard to the quality of products and services.
ISO/IEC 17025 - This standard is the international reference for testing and calibration laboratories with or without accreditation. ISO/IEC 17025 is composed of two main clauses: "Management Requirements" and "Technical Requirements". Management requirements are related to the operation and effectiveness of the quality management system within the laboratory and has similar requirements to ISO 9001. Technical requirements address the competence of the staff, testing methodology, devices and quality as well as the creation of test reports and calibration certificates.

The inspection is performed to determine whether a measuring device meets the verification standards, i.e. whether it complies with the applicable requirements. The stamp granted after the inspection states that the measuring device complied with these requirements at the time of the inspection and is expected to work "correctly" during the period following the verification provided that it is used in accordance with the operating manual.
Operating hour - Technical unit of time for measuring the active operating time and for indicating the life cycle of various technical equipment, machines and systems. For example, operating hours indicate in hours the period of time technical equipment may be operated between two services without risking any serious damage such as failure of components, assemblies or subsystems due to wear and tear.
OQ (Operational Qualification) - Documented verification that the facilities, devices and equipment, such as installed or modified, operate as intended throughout their specified operating range.
Outer inspection/visual inspection - Visual inspection is the process of visually inspecting a device/equipment for visual flaws and faults. Usually, devices that have already been put into operation are inspected visually. A distinction is made between direct visual inspection with or without auxiliary equipment and indirect visual inspection.

PQ (Performance Qualification) - Documented verification that systems and equipment perform effectively and reproducibly based on the approved process method and product specification. Critical device parameters are checked using suitable test methods. These methods are documented in test specifications.
PT (Performance Test) - Physical test covering a broad range of technical and functional assessments that does not specify a material, product or system based on detailed material or component specifications but rather based on the final performance characteristics that can be measured. The method used can be both quantitative or qualitative.
