Our company offers a full range of services: preparation of User Requirements Specification (URS) for the equipment to be purchased, equipment qualification, carrying out PQ/PV (performance qualification/process validation) stages.
Equipment qualification is documented evidence that the equipment complies with GMP, performs within the specified operating ranges and is suitable for manufacturing products of the required quality.
Equipment qualification includes the following activities:
-
Evaluating User Requirements Specification (URS) for the equipment to be purchased, checking that equipment characteristics and capacity meet the requirements of the manufacturing process;
-
Supporting and monitoring manufacturing processes and equipment supply;
-
Verifying manufacturer's documentation;
-
Checking equipment appearance and labeling;
-
Verifying that equipment configuration meet specifications, checking that equipment is installed correctly against its installation drawings;
-
Ensuring that materials comply with GMP;
-
Obtaining the documented evidence that the equipment operates properly and emergency, interlock and alarm systems perform efficiently;
-
Monitoring efficiency of control systems;
-
Ensuring that measuring devices are reading correctly (monitoring of calibration of critical instruments);
-
Monitoring reliability and reproducibility of critical parameters, including the worst-case scenario.
