We submit developers, engineers and specialists who match your requirement, on the terms you choose.
CQV and validation engineers for equipment, utilities, cleaning, process and computer systems, in sterile and non-sterile manufacturing. This page walks through the work the way it happens on site.
FDA's 2011 process validation guidance splits the work into three stages. Commissioning and qualification (C&Q) of equipment and utilities sits inside stage 2.
Define the process and its control strategy from development and scale-up knowledge.
Prove facilities, utilities and equipment are fit, then prove the process at commercial scale.
Keep proving it with data for as long as the product is made.
Specifications go down the left side, testing comes up the right. The dashed lines are the traceability matrix. Select any box.

What the equipment must do, in the user's words: capacity, materials of construction, cleanability, alarms, data integrity. Each requirement gets a unique ID so it can be traced to a test.
Written by: process owner, validation lead, QA approval
How the system will meet each requirement: sequences, interlocks, alarm handling, recipes and reports. Usually written by the vendor or integrator.
Tested by: OQ
The physical and software design: drawings, P&IDs, bill of materials, instrument list, hardware and software architecture.
Tested by: IQ
The vendor builds and configures the system. Factory acceptance testing (FAT) happens here, and results can be leveraged into IQ and OQ if the protocols allow it.
Proves the system is installed as designed.
Proves each function works across its operating range.
Proves the system performs consistently with real or simulated product under routine conditions, usually over three consecutive runs.

Cleaning validation shows residues of the previous product, detergent and microbes are below safe limits. Specialists pick the worst-case product, calculate limits and swab the hardest-to-clean spots.
Group products; pick the least soluble, most toxic or hardest to clean.
Set MACO from health-based exposure limits (PDE) or dose criteria.
Swab and rinse at defined locations with a qualified technique.
Spiked coupon studies prove the swab picks residue up.
Validated HPLC, TOC or conductivity methods measure residue.
Dirty and clean hold times are challenged, then three runs pass.
Maximum allowable carryover of product A into the next product B, using A's permitted daily exposure, B's minimum batch size and B's maximum daily dose.
FDA's Computer Software Assurance approach keeps scripted testing for high-risk functions and uses unscripted and exploratory testing where risk is low, with less paperwork and more real testing.
| Document | Purpose | Usually written by |
|---|---|---|
| Validation master plan (VMP) | Site or project strategy: scope, approach, responsibilities, schedule | Validation lead or manager |
| User requirement specification (URS) | What the system must do, with traceable requirement IDs | Process owner with validation |
| Risk assessment (FMEA) | Identifies critical aspects and sets testing depth | Validation engineer, cross-functional team |
| FAT / SAT protocols | Vendor and site acceptance testing, leveraged into qualification | Vendor, commissioning engineer |

QA specialists who review batch records, run deviations and CAPA, manage change control and keep sites ready for inspection. Hover or tap the pyramid to see how the quality system is built.
Each layer says less about why and more about how. Records at the base are the evidence that everything above was followed.
The site's commitment to GMP and how the quality system is organized. Maps to ICH Q10 elements.
High-level rules for topics such as data integrity, training, supplier quality and validation.
Standard operating procedures: who does what, in what order, with which approvals.
Step-by-step detail at the bench or machine, and the templates used to record it.
Batch records, logbooks, test results, training files. If it isn't recorded, it didn't happen.
Production makes it, QA on the floor watches it, QC tests it, and QA decides. A batch is only released when every record is complete and every deviation is closed or assessed.

Six steps in a loop. Select a step to see what QA does there and the evidence an inspector expects to find.
Anyone who sees an unplanned event (a missed step, an alarm, an out-of-spec result) raises a deviation, usually within one business day, in the QMS such as TrackWise or Veeva.
Evidence: timely deviation record with a clear description.
Immediate actions protect product and patients: quarantine the batch, stop the line, check other batches. QA classifies the deviation as minor, major or critical.
Evidence: impact assessment covering all potentially affected batches.
Gather data: batch records, alarms, interviews, equipment logs, trend history. Most sites target closure within 30 days, with documented extensions.
Evidence: timeline, data reviewed and people interviewed.
Use structured tools such as 5 Whys, fishbone diagrams and fault trees. "Human error" alone is rarely accepted without asking why the error was possible.
Evidence: root cause supported by data, not assumption.
Corrective actions fix this problem; preventive actions stop it happening elsewhere. Each has an owner, a due date and a link to change control if procedures or systems change.
Evidence: actions traceable to the root cause.
After a defined period, QA checks with data that the problem has not recurred. If it has, the loop starts again.
Evidence: pre-defined success criteria and a documented result.
Select a step in the cycle.
A new supplier, a software patch, a revised SOP, a moved piece of equipment: every change is assessed by the functions it could affect before it is approved.

The FDA and MHRA expect paper and electronic records to meet these attributes. Select a segment for what it means in practice.
Every entry traces to one person through a signature, initials or a unique login. Shared accounts break this.
Handwriting is clear, corrections are single-line with reason, and electronic data stays readable after upgrades.
Data is written when the activity happens, not reconstructed at the end of the shift. System clocks must be controlled.
The original record, or a certified true copy, is kept. For chromatography, that means the raw data files, not only printouts.
No errors or undocumented edits. Audit trails show every change with who, when and why.
All data is kept, including aborted runs, re-injections and failed results. Testing into compliance is a serious finding.
Dates, times and steps follow the expected order across records and systems.
Records survive on controlled media with backups, not on sticky notes or local desktops.
Records can be found and read quickly for review, audit or inspection for the full retention period.
