I find this mnemonic helps with ISO 9001 terminology..
Verification = the answer to "have we designed the right thing?" - ie does it look like what the client wants?
Validation = the answer to "have we designed the thing right?" - ie does it work the way client wanted it to?
That is, of course, until you come across a died in the wool, fully paid up, card-carrying food technologist who will tell you you have the defintions the wrong way round!
