skos:definition "1. The 'process' of determining whether a product or service is adequate to <br/>
perform its intended function satisfactorily.<br/>
'Validation' is broader in scope, and may involve a greater element of <br/>judgement, than 'verification'.<br/>
<i><b>computer system validation.</b></i> The 'process' of testing and evaluating the <br/>integrated computer 'system' (hardware and software) to ensure <br/>compliance with the functional, performance and interface requirements.<br/>
<i><b>model validation.</b></i> The 'process' of determining whether a 'model' is an <br/>adequate representation of the real 'system' being modelled, by comparing <br/>the predictions of the 'model' with observations of the real 'system'.<br/>
Normally contrasted with 'model verification', although 'verification' will often <br/>be a part of the broader 'process' of 'validation'.<br/>There is some controversy about the extent to which 'model validation' can be <br/>achieved, particularly in relation to modelling the long term 'migration' of <br/>radionuclides from 'radioactive waste' in 'repositories'.<br/>
<i><b>system code validation.</b></i> 'Assessment' of the accuracy of values predicted <br/>by the 'system code' against relevant experimental data for the important <br/>phenomena expected to occur.<br/>
2. Confirmation by means of objective evidence that the requirements <br/>
for a specific intended purpose and use or application have been fulfilled. See <br/>'verification'. <br/>
The corresponding status is termed ‘validated’.<br/>The conditions of use for 'validation' purposes may be real or simulated.<br/>" (en)
