validierte

Validierte is the past participle of the German verb validieren (to validate). It can function as a predicate or as an attributive adjective and describes something that has undergone validation and meets predefined criteria or standards.

Common uses include validierte Daten (data that has been validated), ein validiertes Verfahren (a validated method), and validierte Software (validated software). In practice, validation is the process of assessing conformity with requirements, often involving systematic checks, testing, and documentation.

In science and engineering, validation tasks establish that methods, models, or instruments produce reliable results under defined conditions. The related noun Validierung denotes the process, while Validität refers to the concept of validity. The participle validierte appears in contexts where the discussion concerns results or artifacts, for example validierte Messwerte or ein validiertes Instrument.

Origin and usage: the term is widely used in German-speaking countries and reflects the borrowing of the English verb validate. It is common in regulatory and technical environments such as GMP, clinical trials, data management, software engineering, and quality assurance. Usage tends to follow standard German inflection patterns, with validierte as the attributive form (die validierten Daten) and validierte as part of finite verb forms (sie validierte die Daten).
