ABSTRACT
Method validation is the process used to confirm that the analytical procedure employed for a specific test is suitable for its intended use. Results from method validation can be used to judge the quality, reliability, and consistency of analytical results; it is an integral part of any good analytical practice. When extended to an analytical procedure, depending upon the application, it means that a method works reproducibly, when carried out by same or different persons, in same or different laboratories, using different  reagents,  different  equipment etc.  In  this  review  article  we  discussed  about  the  strategy  and  importance  of  validation  of  analytical  methods.
