What is IQ/OQ/PQ Training?

This training focuses on the three critical phases of equipment qualification:

  2. Operation Qualification (OQ): Ensuring equipment operates correctly under specific conditions.

  3. Performance Qualification (PQ): Validating that equipment consistently performs as intended in real-world applications.

Why is IQ/OQ/PQ Training Important?

  • Regulatory Compliance: Meet industry standards such as ISO, GMP, and GLP.

  • Operational Integrity: Ensure equipment performs reliably and consistently.

  • Audit Preparedness: Proper documentation and execution of IQ/OQ/PQ streamline audits and inspections.

  • Risk Mitigation: Identify and address potential issues during qualification stages.
