BryNaxa eCTD Validator LIVE

Pre-flight an FDA electronic submission on your own machine, before it reaches the gateway, and catch the mechanical and technical defects that cause a rejection. It works fully offline, and every check is deterministic: the same submission always produces the same findings.

What it does

What it checks.

Validate your complete FDA eCTD submission before it reaches the gateway. BryNaxa eCTD Validator supports both eCTD v3.2.2 and v4.0, detected automatically, and reports every finding by severity so the sequence is clean before you submit.

Every finding cites the exact FDA rule, its published severity, and what to change — built from the FDA’s published requirements and kept current with FDA rule updates as requirements change.

  • Folder structure, file naming, and every checksum in the package.
  • XML validity against the official ICH schema.
  • FDA controlled vocabulary — application types, submission types, headings, keywords.
  • The study-data rules that trigger automatic technical rejection (ts.xpt, define.xml, dataset tagging).
  • Document quality inside the PDFs: broken links and bookmarks, non-searchable pages, unembedded fonts, and document security.
Who it’s for

Where it fits in the workflow.

Regulatory operations and publishing teams responsible for getting a sequence through the FDA technical gateway clean the first time. Run it at your desk before you submit — on the whole package, a single sequence, the reconstructed application lifecycle, or one document.

How it works

Everything stays on your machine.

Runs fully offline on your own Windows computer. No account, no cloud, no telemetry — your files never leave the desk. Every result comes from a published method computed the same way every time, so the same input always produces the same findings. You keep the report as a plain file in your own systems.

Tiers

Capability by tier.

Free — Single-document checker Free
Always free, unlimited, on screen. Pre-flights the PDFs in a submission for the mechanical defects that cause technical rejection: broken hyperlinks and bookmarks, non-searchable pages, unembedded fonts, and document security settings. Catch them at your desk. No licence required.
Free, always. No licence required.
Standard — eCTD sequence validation (v3.2.2 and v4.0) Licensed
Validates a complete eCTD submission sequence against the FDA technical validation criteria, for both eCTD v3.2.2 and the v4.0 format. Reports every finding by severity so the sequence is clean before you submit.
Contact [email protected] for licensing.
Professional — Whole-application lifecycle + study-data check Licensed
Everything in Standard, plus validation across the whole application lifecycle (the current view reconstructed across every sequence, not just one), and a submission final check of the study data in the package — the FDA study-data rejection checks: study identifiers consistent across the tagging files and datasets, study start dates present, and the required dataset and define file pairings. The full “do not get rejected” pass over the whole submission.

Gold — Validation-Ready: the guided GxP qualification package Licensed
For teams that must qualify the tool for GxP use, a guided wizard walks one person through Installation Qualification (IQ), Operational Qualification (OQ), and Performance Qualification (PQ), step by step, with plain-language questions, editable suggested answers, and boxes to enter and check your own results. No consultant required. The tool fills in the facts it knows (installation checks, version) and runs its own objective operational self-check; you supply your intended use, acceptance criteria, and your own PQ using your own submissions, then print the assembled report and sign it in ink.
Contact [email protected] for licensing.

Try the full checks free: five complete runs of the sequence validation and five of the final-submission check, on your own real package.

Validation-Ready · the boundary

We qualify. You validate.

This package provides the qualification documents and objective test evidence needed to validate BryNaxa eCTD Validator for your GxP use, and guides you through completing it. It does not itself validate your system. To reach a validated state, your organization must, under its own procedures: define and approve intended use and acceptance criteria; execute the IQ and OQ in your environment; execute the PQ using your own processes, data, and users; disposition any deviations; and have your quality unit review the completed evidence and approve it with handwritten signatures. BryNaxa provides the evidence; your quality unit makes the validated determination. This tool is not a 21 CFR Part 11 electronic-signature system; the signed record is the paper you print and wet-sign.
