01 QUALIFICATION SCOPE
What can we validate or qualify?
SOLVE provides equipment validation and qualification services for laboratory equipment, manufacturing equipment, and utility systems. We define equipment boundaries, qualification stages, and acceptance criteria based on intended use and approved requirements. Each quotation specifies the protocol development, onsite execution, and qualification reporting included in the project.
01/ EQUIPMENT OR SYSTEM
Laboratory equipment
​Establish documented readiness for washers, incubators, ovens, balances and centrifuges. Our laboratory equipment qualification links intended use to approved IQ, OQ and PQ checks, covering installation, operating functions and defined performance.
03/ EQUIPMENT OR SYSTEM
Cooling equipment
For process chillers, recirculating temperature-control units and heat exchangers, we develop and execute checks for controls, alarms and temperature response under defined loads. Process chiller qualification documents performance against approved acceptance criteria.
02/ EQUIPMENT OR SYSTEM
Process equipment validation
Mixers, blenders, mixing and holding vessels, homogenizers and transfer pumps. Verify equipment installation, speed or flow controls, interlocks and performance under specified operating conditions.
04/ EQUIPMENT OR SYSTEM
USP water systems
Define qualification boundaries for USP Purified Water and Water for Injection (WFI) systems, including generation equipment, storage tanks, pumps and distribution loops. Utility qualification services cover approved installation and operational checks, with performance testing and sampling responsibilities established in the protocol.
05/ EQUIPMENT OR SYSTEM
Equipment changes: define what needs retesting
After a move, modification or upgrade, identify which functions and qualification records are affected. Our equipment requalification services use the change assessment and existing evidence to define targeted tests, document results and prepare the report for site review.
IQ — Installation Qualification: Verify installation, connections, components, instruments, and supporting records against approved requirements.
IQ OQ PQ services matched to intended use
OQ — Operational Qualification: Test functions, controls, alarms, and interlocks across the approved operating range.
PQ — Equipment Performance Qualification: Verify equipment performance under defined conditions of intended use. User requirements and design review support can also be included.
02 WHEN TO QUALIFY
Why verify performance before release?
Your reviewers need to see how each requirement was tested and what the evidence shows. We link approved requirements to test records and report any gaps that affect the qualification conclusion.
Verify installation and operating functions against approved requirements.
Identify missing records, failed tests, and unresolved issues.
Check performance under the conditions defined in your protocol.
Give your reviewers a clear basis for approval and release decisions.
When do you need validation support?
Installing new equipment
Plan qualification before the startup deadline so prerequisites, testing, and review time are included.
Changing or relocating equipment
Assess what changed and which tests need repeating. Requalification is based on impact, not simply a repeat of every original test.
Closing documentation gaps
Review incomplete protocols, missing evidence, or unresolved deviations and define the work needed to address them.
Installing or modifying equipment
Define equipment boundaries, intended use, affected functions and qualification tests before installation or modification.
Before onsite execution
Agree on readiness before scheduling tests so the approved work can proceed.
Approved protocols, intended use and acceptance criteria.
Equipment access, utilities and calibration records.
Applicable procedures, vendor records and existing evidence.
Test materials, operator support and agreed test windows.
Site reviewers and an agreed deviation approval process.
How SOLVE performs the work?
03 FROM REQUIREMENTS TO REVIEW
01
Define the project
Our GMP validation consulting starts with intended use, system boundaries, available evidence, and the decision due. We define the tests, responsibilities, and acceptance criteria for site approval.
02
Prepare the protocols
We write or adapt protocols using your templates and suitable vendor records. We link tests to requirements and confirm calibration, procedures, utilities, materials, and access before execution.
03
Execute onsite
Validation protocol execution follows the approved instructions. We record actual results, instrument references, and supporting evidence as each test is performed.
04
Address deviations
We document the deviation, assess its impact with your team, and propose a resolution. Corrective work and retesting follow your site’s approval process.
05
Report the outcome
We prepare the report with test outcomes, deviation status, and remaining actions. Your authorized reviewers approve the documents and decide readiness for use.
SOLVE
Prepare & Execute
Develop agreed protocols, execute approved tests, preserve actual results and prepare the qualification report.
STUDY SETUP
Assess & resolve
Review deviations and their impact together. Corrective work and retesting follow the site’s approval process.
YOUR SITE
Approve & release
Provide prerequisites, approve protocols and changes, and authorize readiness for use through your quality system.
Commissioning records and qualification
We review available vendor and completed commissioning records against the equipment’s intended use and approved requirements. Suitable evidence can support equipment qualification; gaps determine the additional qualification tests and records required.
04 DOCUMENTED OUTCOMES
What you recieve?
Engage us for a complete qualification project, protocol preparation, execution of approved protocols, or completion of unfinished work. Receive a clear record of what passed, what failed, and what remains open.
Your quotation confirms the documents and execution work included:
Qualification protocols prepared for site approval, with tests linked to requirements.
Executed protocols and test evidence, including actual results and references.
Deviation and retest records showing resolutions and outstanding actions.
A qualification report stating conclusions, limits, and unresolved items.
A findings review to support your site’s approval process.
Your quotation specifies document formats, review rounds, execution visits, and reporting. Protocol approval, change control, and final release remain with your site. Added tests, engineering work, or visits are assessed and quoted before proceeding.
FROM PROCESS STEP TO FOLLOW-UP
How your findings can be organized
Traceable test records
Connect requirements, approved instructions, instrument references and actual results.
Visible open items
Identify deviations, retests and unresolved actions that affect the qualification conclusion.
This example shows structure only. It contains no actual test results, compliance conclusions or release decisions. The approved protocol and quotation define your project.
