What is Computer System Validation (CSV)?
Computer Systems Validation (CSV) is a process used to ensure (and document) that all computer-based systems will produce information or data that meet predefined requirements. If a system meets these requirements, it can be assumed that it is consistently performing in the way it was intended.
What is a CSV Specialist?
CSV specialists plan, write, implement and review the Computer Systems Validation protocols in place within highly regulated manufacturing industries. Their work is essential to make sure that all computer-based systems are operating as intended (with documents to prove it) to meet regulatory requirements.
There is currently a high demand for trained Computer System Validation Specialists. As a result, salaries are highly competitive.
