From simple to more complex equipment and systems, QbD Group offers flexible and customized solutions to meet your needs.

What is equipment qualification?

Equipment qualification is the process of ensuring that machinery, instruments, or systems used in production, laboratory testing, or any other processes consistently perform as intended.

 

It includes documented activities to prove that equipment operates within a set of pre-defined specifications and delivers reliable results. This process is critical for ensuring compliance with industry standards and maintaining product quality and operational consistency.

Why is equipment qualification important?

Equipment qualification is an essential step in ensuring regulatory compliance, operational efficiency, and product quality. Here’s why it matters:

 

  • Regulatory compliance: Ensures alignment with industry standards and regulatory requirements, reducing the risk of non-compliance.
  • Reliable performance: Confirms that equipment consistently delivers accurate and repeatable results.
  • Risk mitigation: Identifies and resolves potential issues before production begins, minimizing downtime and failures.
  • Product quality assurance: Guarantees that processes meet quality standards, safeguarding final product integrity.
  • Operational efficiency: Optimizes processes by ensuring equipment operates at peak performance.

 

Our process

QbD Group provides flexible and scalable equipment qualification services tailored to meet your project requirements. Whether you need a turnkey solution, where QbD manages the entire project from planning and execution to documentation, or a hybrid approach, where your company oversees project management while QbD handles the qualification process, we offer the expertise and adaptability to support your needs.

Step 1: Planning and design

We begin with an in-depth analysis of your needs, developing User Requirement Specifications (URS) and defining clear design criteria. A traceability matrix is built to track requirements throughout the process.

Step 2: Commissioning and qualification

We build and execute Installation Qualification (IQ) and Operational Qualification (OQ) protocols. Our team ensures compliance with specifications and documents all results.

Step 3: Performance qualification

We define Performance Qualification (PQ) scenarios, create protocols, and execute tests on the work floor to verify equipment performance under real-world conditions.

Step 4: Final reporting and validation

A comprehensive report is generated, summarizing results, findings, and any necessary corrective actions. The process concludes with documented validation to meet regulatory standards.
