Pharma Qualification Protocols and Formats

Equipment and system qualification is a systematic and documented procedure aimed at demonstrating that a pharmaceutical manufacturing facility equipment, utilities and facilities are properly installed and function as designed and in a manner that meets validated parameters. Qualification is part of the DQ → IQ → OQ → PQ process sequence and is a very essential GMP requirement in EU GMP Annex 15, ICH Q7, FDA guidance and PIC/S PI 006 as well as WHO GMP guidelines. All manufacturing equipment, including a tablet compression, an autoclave or a water system has to be qualified before it can be used in production. Pharmaceutical Qualification Protocol & Report formats are provided for Equipment, Utilities, HVAC, Water system & Laboratory Instruments.
