ICH Q2(R2) — Validation of Analytical Procedures

Document status what the publisher asserts

final

No status read is recorded for this entry — this record has not read a publisher surface for it, which is a fact about this record and not about the publisher. A status read is recorded for 7 of 132 tracked entries, 5 of which banked a passage.

Evidence state what this record holds

not a document — a body, committee or programme — there is no document here to retrieve, quote or date

This state is not one of the seven the published model names. It is recorded separately because the entry is not a document, and the seven all describe evidence about one.

Evidence ladder#

What this record holds for this entry, rung by rung, each mark derived from a field, a count or a stored reading. Rungs in the order the record acquires them, from what an entry is to what has been checked about it. The order is fixed; a rung’s position says nothing about any entry.

  1. held in part. identity an address that describes this document rather than a list it sits in The address this record holds is a listing covering several documents; no page describing this one on its own has been found.
  2. held. publisher the body that published it The publishing body is recorded as International Council for Harmonisation.
  3. held. jurisdiction the jurisdiction the publishing body belongs to The jurisdiction is recorded as International.
  4. read, and not there. type the class the document calls itself, quoted from its own title The title was read and it does not call this document a regulation, a guidance or a standard, so no class is recorded.
  5. held. current edition a statement of which edition or revision this record holds The publisher publishes a stage for this document, recorded with the day it was read.
  6. nothing held. publication date a date the publisher states for this document No reading of a publication date is recorded for this entry.
  7. held. lifecycle signal a stage, step or status wording read from a publisher surface The publisher publishes a stage for this document; it is recorded below with the day it was read and the address it was read from.
  8. nothing held. publisher notices official notices the publisher issued about this document No collection of publisher notices has succeeded: of 2 declared sources, 2 have never been attempted. The store holds nothing for any entry.
  9. held. observation history a dated series of what the publisher’s address returned This record holds 6 dated records of this document, of 159 records in its series; the rest are classified as records of something other than the document this entry names.
  10. held. text prose retained from the retrieved bytes, against which a quotation can be checked Prose was extracted from the retrieved bytes, so a quotation from this document can be checked against what this record retained.
  11. held in part. diff a comparison of two retrievals of this document 6 retrievals of this document carry a digest, and the store records no retrieval differing from the one before it.
  12. held. verification a person’s check of this entry against the primary source A person checked this entry against the primary source; the day is recorded above.

held in part — part of it is held, or it is held under a limit the sentence states · held — this record holds it, and the sentence beside it names what from · read, and not there — a reading ran and did not find it — an absence this record measured · nothing held — no reading of this rung is recorded — nobody has looked, which is not the same as looking and finding nothing

The first rung a reading ran on and did not find: type — The title was read and it does not call this document a regulation, a guidance or a standard, so no class is recorded.

Coverage contract#

Each term states what this record does for this entry and what it does not, derived from the entry’s own fields and its own series. It is a record of coverage, not a finding about the document.

Observed cadence how often this record has reached this entry’s address
Every interval between consecutive days holding an observation is 1 day. The term this record declares for the entry is “quarterly”.
Text: public, and retained whether the publisher’s text is public, and whether prose from it is kept here
This entry is a body or programme rather than a document, so there is no document text to be public or restricted. What this record fetches for it is the publisher’s own page about the body, and its series records what that address returned.
Hash what is digested for this entry, and of what
This entry is a body or programme rather than a document, so there is no document here to digest. Its series carries 6 digest(s), of the publisher page this record fetches for it.
Status verification which check this record undertakes for the published status, and which it holds
A status is a property of a document and this entry is a body or programme, so no status is put to a person for it. A person’s confirmation is recorded, dated 2026-07-30.
Lifecycle tracked which lifecycle facts this record follows for this entry
This record follows a publisher stage record for this entry. 36 of 132 tracked entries carry at least one such fact.
Known limits the limits this entry’s own record declares
3 of the 8 limits this record can record are set on this entry, and each is listed below with the field it was read from.

Why this entry is tracked#

The test an entry is admitted under is published in full, with its negative limb and its worked examples, at the inclusion rule. What this record holds about THIS entry's admission is below, each line naming the store it was read from.

Inclusion-rule limb which of the four limbs was applied
No field in this record names which limb an entry satisfies, so none is stated for this one. Membership was closed as a human judgment on 2026-08-11, and the four-limb test is applied by a person rather than by code. This entry’s own stated subject is not read as a limb: a title word standing in for a rule would be a classification this record authored.
Admission entry the dated act that added this entry
No admission entry is recorded for this entry. 21 of 132 tracked entries carry one, so an absence here is ordinary rather than a gap peculiar to this entry.
Declared tier-1 list a recorded judgement that this belongs
This entry is a member of the declared tier-1 list, which names 37 identifiers, of which 35 resolve to one of the 132 tracked entries. The list records a decision that these belong; it states no limb.
Admissions boundary the jurisdictions this record adds from
This entry’s jurisdiction is International. It is inside the admissions boundary ruled on 2026-08-16, which names 4 jurisdictions — EU · US · UK · International — and which is one of the two admission tests this record enforces in code. The other is that a candidate carry the publisher’s own address: a mention is not a citation.

Every one of the 53 days from 2026-07-28 to 2026-09-18 holds an observation.

Each mark links to the single observation it stands for, at that observation’s own address. The whole series, with every address, is at /observations/ich-q2r2. Any two of its retained observations can be set side by side at /compare/ich-q2r2. The same evidence as a packet, with its refusals and its integrity reference, is at /packet/ich-q2r2.

Every observation in this series is published, untruncated, at /api/v1/observations.json.

/observations/ich-q2r2 — every record of this row, with its address. /api/v1/series.jsonl — the same records for every row, one line each. Each observation is addressed by this row’s identifier, the date it was observed, and its sequence within that date — the same key /api/v1/series.jsonl publishes as `sequence`, counted in the order the store recorded them.

Source health#

Counts and dates over a stated window. No figure here is a mark out of a hundred, no cell is ordered against another, and none of it is a statement about the publisher: a day this record did not reach is a fact about this record’s reach.

Fetch outcomes how the requests in the window answered
138 of 159 fetch records in the 90 calendar days ending carry no error. The 21 that carry one are recorded under blocked ×21. Of those, 6 produced a digest: a page that answers and is assembled in the browser answers without one.
Last fetched the most recent record in the whole series
— the latest day this record holds (). The method recorded is browser. What that record returned is in Observation history above.
Address stability where the requests actually landed
94 record(s) in the window recorded the address that answered, across 2 distinct address(es). 65 further record(s) carry no answered address and say nothing either way. The most recent answered address is the one this entry declares.

Access posture what the publisher declares, and what the requests met
Declared: no robots.txt published · crawlable partial · renders client-side. Met: 21 of 159 record(s) in the window were recorded as refused. A refusal is what one request of this record met on one day; it is not a policy the publisher stated.
Expected and observed cadence the declared term, the days held, and the days holding none
The term this record declares for this entry is quarterly. Over its own window, to , 53 of 53 calendar days hold at least one observation. None holds none. Every interval between consecutive days holding one is 1, counted in days. Both figures are stated and the difference between them is not adjudicated here.

Neighbourhood#

What sits around this entry, counted. Every figure below is drawn from a value already rendered elsewhere on this page; where a count has a list, the count is here and the list stays in the section holding its evidence.

The direct document, and the activity around it what this record’s observations of the document recorded inside a stated window, beside the official signals dated inside the same one
Each row is a window of calendar days ending , the day the source-health block above counts its own window to. Every column between the window and the official signals is drawn from the 6 observation(s) of the document this entry holds in total. An observation is counted here only where the class projection places it on the document this entry names.
Window Observations of the document Of those, carrying a digest Of those, carrying a change Direct document Official signals dated inside it
30 calendar days 6 6 0 no change in window 0 of 0
90 calendar days 6 6 0 no change in window 0 of 0
365 calendar days 6 6 0 no change in window 0 of 0

A window is marked changed where at least one observation of the document inside it recorded a change against the previous one; unchanged where the window holds at least one such observation, at least one of them carries a digest of the retrieved bytes, and none recorded a change; undigested where the window holds observations and none of them carries a digest, so no observation in it could be compared with another; and unmeasured where the window holds no observation at all. The word is shorthand for the three counts printed beside it and adds nothing to them. It is a statement about the window and never about the document outside it, which is why a window reaching back before the first observation says so underneath. A mark is derived from the observations a window holds and never from the days it spans; which days inside this entry’s own window hold none is stated by the coverage sentence in Observation history above.

The first observation of the document this entry names is . These windows reach back before it — 30 calendar days · 90 calendar days · 365 calendar days — so part of the span each names was never watched, and a window with no change inside it says nothing about the days before that first observation.

no change in window — this window holds observations of the document and none of them recorded a change — which is a statement about the window, not about the document outside it

No word is attached to the signal count beside it, and none will be. Any word for the size of a count needs either a threshold this record would have authored or a comparison against other entries that would rank the sources against one another; the count and its window are the whole claim. The document column beside it carries a word only because the rule reaching it is printed underneath and can be checked against the counts it stands for.

The last column holds no member on this entry. The zero it holds is named under “Around it” below.

Around it official signals naming this entry, by the class their publisher stated
The signal store holds no record for any entry, so nothing here is an absence measured on this one. The store’s own state is no source attempted, and what that state means for every count drawn from the store is stated at the signals index.
Related sources other entries reachable from this one by a relation a publisher states
0 relation(s) this entry’s own publisher states, 1 citation edge(s) out of its retained text and 1 into it. They reach 1 other entry(ies) this record tracks. Each one is listed with the words that state it and the address they were read from, in the section holding it below.
Related standards which of those entries call themselves a standard, in their own publisher’s word
Of the 1 entry(ies) reached, 0 carry their publisher’s word for a consensus standard, 0 state another class and 1 state none. A related entry is counted as a standard only where that entry’s own record carries the publisher’s word for it, quoted and cited on that entry’s page. Nothing is read from a designator: a title containing the letters of a standards body is not a publisher calling a document a standard. Where an entry states no class, it is counted as stating none rather than as not being one.
Topics the controlled identifiers this entry carries, and the voice each one is in
1 identifier(s), minted by the convention published at /conventions. The values themselves are not listed again here; what this adds is the identifier and the voice it is in. 1 come(s) from a term this document’s own publisher states about it, quoted with its citation lower on this page: topic.validation.
Before, now and next where the record’s day sits among the publisher-dated facts this entry holds
This entry holds no publisher-dated lifecycle fact, so no position can be derived. What is absent is a dated statement this record has read.

Next holds the publisher-dated facts this record already carries that fall after the day this record calls today — a stated effective date, a consultation close. Nothing is projected and no step is inferred from a lifecycle: where a publisher has stated no further date, the cell says so, and what is absent is a statement rather than a future.

Subject and class (as stated)

The words this document uses about itself, matched verbatim against its own title. Not a statement of scope, and not a judgment about which organisations or products fall under it: each value quotes the span it was read from and links to where that span was read.

This document does not call itself a regulation, a guidance or a standard, so no class is recorded. It is filed under title states no class.

Citations (within the tracked corpus)

One document's retained text contained a form another document is published under, on the date shown, with the words it was read from. An edge cannot tell the manner of a citation — a document naming another in order to exclude it produces the same entry as one adopting it.

contextual mapping — not a regulatory applicability determination The policy, stated once

Cites (as published)

These citations are drawn together on the citation graph, where every row carries the same quote and source.
