Validation Questions
For your IQOQ/PQOQ documentation our testing protocols for uniformity specifications are available in PDF format below. Our standard testing procedures our derived from the ASTM E-145 Standard. Our recommendation is that you follow our temperature mapping procedure. Using a different methodology may produce results that differ from the manufacturer specifications.
IQ – (Installation Qualification) is an equipment-oriented verification in the field that the equipment has been installed properly. Standard documentation from a manufacturer or custom documentation is used.
OQ – (Operational Qualification) is an equipment-oriented verification by actual testing that the equipment is capable of operating properly. Standard documentation from a manufacturer or custom documentation from a service provider or the customer is used.
PQ – (Performance Qualification) is a process-oriented verification by actual testing that the equipment is performing to specifications of intended use. Most times this requires custom documentation to reflect the specific requirements of the customer.
Validation – Validation is documented evidence that a specific process will consistently produce a product that meets its predetermined specifications and quality attributes. Usually a final report is written to summarize the IQOQPQ process and supporting documents.
The BioPharma and Medical Device Industries are governed by national and international regulatory requirements (e.g. FDA cGMP) that require validation of process and critical equipment.
