Innovative CQV Solutions

Our CQV process contains a series of detailed tests and supporting evidence that the equipment or facility’s system meets requirements and is executed at our factory following good documentation practices.

Commissioning at this phase assures that the facility meets customer/design requirements prior to shipment to its final destination. At the factory, every attempt will be made to simulate a completed facility to provide the commissioning team the opportunity to test the facility and systems to the fullest extent possible. This approach minimizes encountering issues onsite and helps reduce site installation time thus expediting the site acceptance testing phase of the project.

Commissioning at the final destination utilizes a risk-based approach allowing the leveraging of non-critical tests previously performed at the factory and therefore reducing the amount of testing performed on site. This will ensure the facility meets customer/design requirements in its final state with the production build complete and facilitates project completion and turnover.

We will author and execute a Germfree Cleanroom Facility testing protocol providing objective evidence that the cleanroom meets both clean air (ISO14644) and FDA-cGMP requirements. This includes materials of construction, temperature, humidity, and differential pressure trending, one day static, and non-viable particulate studies. The manufacturer of the EMS system will execute their installation and operational qualification (vendor protocol) following installation completion. Finally, we will execute an IOQ protocol for various equipment such as: pass-thru chambers, restrictive access barrier (RABS), gloveboxes and containment systems and provide a summary report.

At the end of the commissioning process, we will prepare a turnover package that provides a central documentation reference for all systems. This package consists of a combination of documents provided by Germfree and their subcontractors. It also includes a narrative summary report of the commissioning process summarizing key information, deficiencies, open issues (if any), and overall results.
