FDA Validation Services
Process Facility FDA Validation from Cross Company
Meeting FDA regulations in your process facility is more than just checking a few boxes on a form. It’s the foundation of safety, quality, and trust that your production process is built on.
The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is a critical regulatory body for many industrial process facilities and industrial manufacturers. They safeguard public health by ensuring manufacturers are consistently meeting strict standards in the production of food, pharmaceuticals, medical devices, and many other products. Validation from the FDA is both a necessity and an opportunity to demonstrate unwavering commitment to quality and safety.
Whether you’re upgrading an existing control system, overhauling a part of your production process, or installing a brand new system, Cross Company can offer an FDA validation package upon project completion to ensure you uphold FDA compliant production processes.
We have years of experience in creating validation packages for FDA environments and all our engineers have extensive cGMP experience from an operational and software perspective.

Meeting Compliance and Production Goals
FDA compliance regulations for process manufacturing are designed to safeguard public health. Compliance ensures that your product, whether that’s a soft drink or a medication, is made utilizing processes that are consistently controlled. This reduces contamination risk, production errors, or any unexpected deviations that can harm end users.
At Cross Company, we know that meeting FDA regulations and industry standards doesn’t have to hold you back. Meeting these standards not only protects the public, but your own personnel and operational integrity as well. By partnering with Cross, we can help you meet compliance goals by creating a solid compliance foundation, allowing you to meet (or even exceed) your production goals.

Meeting FDA Regulatory Guidelines For Validation
Meeting FDA regulatory guidelines for validation is a strict legal requirement but navigating the compliance process can be incredibly complex. Non-compliance can lead to significant consequences, including legal actions, product recalls, and permanent reputational damage. When you partner with an experienced integrator like Cross Company, we help you eliminate these risks. We partner with you to ensure your facility operates confidently while meeting all regulatory and industry standards.
Cross Company works directly with your facility to implement rigorous control system validation that guarantees compliance, protects your brand, and optimizes your operational integrity.
Uncompromising End-User Safety
Within food and beverage and pharmaceutical manufacturing, FDA validation is synonymous with safety. Validation processes ensure that products are consistently manufactured to the highest standards, minimizing the risk of adverse events and harm to end users.
Guaranteed Product Quality Assurance
For the food industry, FDA validation is a testament to product quality and integrity. Consumers expect food products to be safe for consumption, free from contamination, and accurately labeled. We work with your facility to ensure that you’re meeting those standards.
Proactive Risk and Compliance Management
Non-compliance with FDA regulations can lead to severe consequences, including legal actions, product recalls, and reputational damage. Validation is not just a choice; it’s a legal requirement that ensures your facility operates within the bounds of the law.

Compliance Validation Process Methodology
Cross follows a GAMP 5 (sometimes called GAMP V) methodology and our validation packages typically contain:
- Functional design specification (FDS)
- Detailed design specification (DDS)
- Installation qualification and operational qualification (IQ/OQ)
- Software manuals
- Traceability matrix
- Other elements can be added to the validation package as necessary according to your quality or operational requirements.
Cross Company’s validation packages are based on easy-to-read templates. This ensures our documents are not only written in plain English but also that they are much faster and efficient to produce. As we continue to work on your system, we can continue to update the validation package as necessary.
