Equipment Qualification / Validation

autocalev Prism Calibration Centre

In regulated industries like pharmaceuticals, biotech, healthcare, food, and manufacturing, equipment isn’t just a tool—it’s the backbone of quality and compliance. Any deviation or malfunction in equipment can result in compromised product quality, regulatory violations, and patient safety risks. This is where equipment qualification and validation play a critical role. At Prism Calibration, we offer NABL-accredited equipment validation and qualification services in Ahmedabad and across Gujarat, ensuring that your equipment performs consistently, safely, and in line with regulatory requirements. From autoclave validation to validating complex systems in medical device manufacturing, our team brings deep expertise and a commitment to excellence.

What is Equipment Qualification?

Equipment qualification is a documented process that confirms a piece of equipment is installed correctly, operates as intended, and consistently produces expected outcomes under defined conditions. It typically involves four major stages:

  • DQ (Design Qualification) – Verifies the design meets required specifications.

     

  • IQ (Installation Qualification) – Ensures proper installation as per design and manuals.

     

  • OQ (Operational Qualification) – Confirms equipment operates within set parameters.

     

PQ (Performance Qualification) – Proves the equipment performs reliably in routine production.

Each stage is critical in achieving full confidence in your system’s capabilities before it goes into commercial operation.

What is Equipment Validation?

  1. Equipment validation goes beyond qualification by establishing documented evidence that a system performs its intended function effectively and reproducibly in the actual production environment. It includes:

    • Validation protocols and test plans

    • System functionality checks

    • Data recording and analysis

    • Final validation report

    Validation is especially vital in medical devices, pharmaceutical manufacturing, sterilization equipment like autoclaves, and cleanroom environments. It also supports compliance with global regulations such as US FDA, WHO, EU-GMP, and Schedule M.

Autoclave Validation Services: Critical for Sterility Assurance

Autoclaves are widely used for sterilization in pharmaceutical, medical, and lab settings. However, without proper validation, their performance can’t be trusted. Autoclave validation involves verifying that sterilization cycles achieve desired outcomes (like temperature, pressure, and time) and meet biological efficacy using tools such as:

  • Thermocouples and data loggers

  • Bowie-Dick tests

  • Biological indicators

  • Chemical integrators

Our autoclave validation test services include:

  • Heat distribution studies

Heat penetration analysis

  • Steam penetration and condensate removal validation

  • Load pattern optimization

At Prism Calibration, we follow NABL-compliant procedures to ensure that your sterilizers consistently deliver the highest level of microbiological safety.

Importance of Validation in Medical Devices

Medical device manufacturers operate under strict regulatory frameworks. Whether it’s a surgical tool, implant, or diagnostic system, each device must meet global standards. Validation in medical devices is essential for:

  • Ensuring patient safety

  • Proving device functionality

  • Meeting documentation and traceability standards

  • Preparing for audits and inspections

We provide customized validation protocols for medical device companies, covering both equipment validation and process validation as per ISO 13485 and FDA 21 CFR Part 820 guidelines.

Why Equipment Qualification and Validation Matter

  1. Regulatory Compliance: Validation is a must-have for audits by NABL, FDA, WHO, and other regulatory bodies.

  2. Product Quality: Ensures equipment consistently meets quality parameters.

  3. Operational Efficiency: Helps reduce downtime, errors, and deviations.

  4. Risk Management: Identifies potential failures before they occur.

  5. Data Integrity: Supports accurate, reliable, and traceable results.

NABL Accreditation: A Mark of Trust & Compliance

  1. The National Accreditation Board for Testing and Calibration Laboratories (NABL) ensures laboratories meet high standards for technical competence and reliable results. Our NABL-accredited validation services provide:

    • Validated data traceable to national/international standards

    • Conformance to ISO/IEC 17025 standards

    • Globally accepted validation and qualification reports

    Having NABL-certified validation not only ensures peace of mind but also strengthens your documentation during audits and client inspections.
