How does a qualification work?
Overview of Procedures
The OQ procedures use a combination of test functions and analytical methods (using certified samples & equipment) to evaluate and verify the instrument or system is operating according to acceptable limits.
Procedures to be taken prior to Qualification
All preventative maintenance and repairs must be completed and instrument tests carried out prior to a qualification procedure being undertaken. All standards and equipment used for qualification must be checked for compliance prior to qualification. Once all equipment has undergone initial maintenance and repair, operational qualification can be carried out in accordance with this protocol.
Preparation of Certificate
All raw data collected is obtained using calibrated standards for equipment, which is traceable to nationally recognised standards. All chromatographic data is captured on the customer’s system and folders are generated to store the data. The OQ is performed on our very own tailor made software, generates certificates on site and is electronically signed by the engineers’ personal login.
Final Certificate
All criteria can be tailored to the customers individual specification and the final certification is backed up to the LC Services Ltd server.
