Verification test data,
The data was compared with the data at the time of the previous verification completion, and it was determined whether or not they match.

However, such a method is relatively less problematic when the amount of work instruction data related to the verification test and the number of relevant laboratories / labs are relatively small. In the case of a large amount, it is difficult to completely prevent erroneous input because data input is manual, and there is a problem in verifying reproducibility of the entire system.

Therefore, the present invention has been made based on such a situation, and ensures reproducibility in a reverification test even when the amount of work instruction data and the number of laboratories and laboratories involved are large and diverse. It is an object of the present invention to provide a data collection device that can be used.

During the reverification test after changing the computer hardware and software, the verification test data from the verification data generating means is read based on the work instruction data and stored in the collection data storage means via the terminal and the central computer. The reverification test is completed when the reverification test data stored in the collected data storage means and the verification test data for which the previous verification test has been completed are collated and matched.

[Action]

With this configuration, the input data from the data input device is stored in the storage device of the terminal during the verification test and transmitted to the terminal as the input data from the data input device from the storage device of the terminal during the reverification test. Then, it is processed by the terminal and the central computer and stored in the collection data storage means, and the re-verification test data stored in the collection data storage means this time and the verification test data completed in the previous verification test are collated and matched. It is possible to ensure reproducibility in verification and reverification tests even when the amount of work instruction data and the number of laboratories and laboratories are diverse and large after completing the reverification test.
