Principle
Systems and equipment: Appropriately designed, located,
installed, operated and maintained
Critical systems and equipment should be qualified
May include, where appropriate:
Water purification systems, air-handling systems,
autoclaves, coating machines
Continued suitable performance needed
Why? To ensure batch-to-batch consistency

Scope
Guidelines describe the general aspects of qualification for
systems and equipment
Normally qualification would be applicable to critical systems
and equipment whose performance may have an impact on the
quality of the product

General
Qualification policy for systems and equipment
To include instruments used in production and quality control
New systems and equipment: All stages of qualification
applicable (DQ, IQ, OQ and PQ)
In some cases: Not all stages of qualification may be required
e.g. electrical supply systems

Validation
General (continued)
Systems: Qualified before equipment
Equipment: Qualified before routine use
Systems and equipment: Periodic requalification, as well as
requalification after change
Certain stages done by the supplier or a third party
Maintain the relevant documentation, e.g.
standard operating procedures (SOPs), specifications and
acceptance criteria, certificates and manuals

Slide 8 of 27
August 2006
Validation
General (continued)
Qualification should be done in accordance with predetermined
and approved qualification protocols
The results of the qualification should be recorded and reflected
in qualification reports
The extent of the qualification should be based on the criticality
of a system or equipment, e.g.
Blenders, autoclaves or computerized systems

Design qualification
User requirements should be considered when deciding on the
specific design of a system or equipment
A suitable supplier should be selected for the appropriate
system or equipment (approved vendor)

Installation qualification
Correct installation as per plan and protocol
Normally advised to prepare requirements for calibration,
maintenance and cleaning at this stage
Identification and verification of all system elements, parts,
services, controls, gauges and other components
Calibrate the measuring, control and indicating devices
against appropriate, traceable national or international
standards
