Validation of Environmental Monitoring Methods

There are many ways to perform environmental monitoring. The methods that a company chooses will determine to a large degree whether or not the data is worth the time and effort spent in collecting and tracking it. In order to show that the methods chosen are appropriate, they need to be validated. Validation is a new concept when it comes to environmental monitoring. Environmental monitoring programs are set up to monitor the effectiveness of cleaning and sanitation and to verify that classified environments are operating in a state of control. This booklet is intended to begin the thinking process and help the reader to design a validation plan that is appropriate for the facility being monitored and the methods being used.
