Pharmaceutical validation and testing

We carry out IQ and OQ validation, HEPA filter integrity testing and pressure decay testing on pharmaceutical sites across the UK.

What we validate and test

Here is what each service covers.

IQ and OQ validation

IQ checks the equipment is installed correctly. OQ checks it works as intended under all expected operating conditions.

CQV procedures

We carry out commissioning, qualification and validation when new equipment goes in and when existing equipment is revalidated.

HEPA filter integrity testing

Particles are introduced before the filter with an aerosol generator and the air that goes through it is sampled with a photometer.

Pressure decay testing

The equipment is sealed and pressurised, then monitored for any changes in pressure. A change in pressure indicates a leak.

Servicing in pharma production

Regular servicing and maintenance keeps a pharmaceutical production facility compliant and prevents equipment failure.

The stages of validation

We validate equipment when it goes in and revalidate it after major maintenance, upgrades or process changes.

  1. Installation
    qualification

    It comes first, once the equipment is in place, to check it meets the manufacturer’s guidelines.

  2. Operational
    qualification

    It comes next, with each test run against the acceptance criteria set out in its protocol.

  3. CQV
    procedures

    Commissioning, qualification and validation run as one sequence, from installation to final approval.

  4. HEPA filter
    integrity test

    It shows when a filter needs replacing. Cleanroom filters are often tested every 6 to 12 months.

  5. Pressure
    decay test

    It checks that sealed equipment, such as a containment or aseptic isolator, stays airtight.

  6. Documentation
    and records

    We record the results of each test against its protocol to show the equipment complies.
