Design Qualification

Design Qualification (DQ) is a crucial step in the qualification process of equipment and facilities in pharmaceutical water treatment. It involves the verification and documentation that the design and specifications of a water treatment system meet the required standards and regulatory requirements.

During the DQ process, the system’s technical specifications, drawings, plans, and documentation are thoroughly reviewed to ensure compliance with quality and safety standards. This includes:

• Verification of functional and performance requirements
• Assessment of regulatory compliance
• Identification of risks and deficiencies
• Comprehensive documentation

As a critical step in the qualification process, DQ ensures that the system design meets the necessary quality standards and provides a solid foundation for installation and operation. A thorough and well-documented Design Qualification helps detect and resolve potential issues early, preventing complications before the system is commissioned.
