Installation Qualification Protocol for Parts Washer in Solid Dosage Form Production
Meta Description: This document outlines the Installation Qualification protocol for the Parts Washer used in Solid Dosage Form production, ensuring compliance with GMP standards.
Tags: Equipment Validation, Installation Qualification, Parts Washer, Solid Dosage Form, GMP
Objective
The objective of this Installation Qualification (IQ) protocol is to verify that the Parts Washer is installed correctly and operates within specified limits to ensure compliance with Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP).
Scope
This protocol applies to the Parts Washer utilized in the cleaning of equipment parts in the Production area for Solid Dosage Form (OSD) manufacturing.
Responsibilities
The Validation Team is responsible for executing this protocol, while the Quality Assurance (QA) department will review and approve the results.
Prerequisites
- Completion of Equipment Installation
- Training of personnel on the operation of the Parts Washer
- Availability of necessary documentation (URS, SOPs, etc.)
Equipment Description
The Parts Washer is designed for the effective cleaning of equipment parts used in the production of Solid Dosage Forms. It operates under controlled conditions to ensure thorough cleaning and sanitization.

Procedure: Measure the wash temperature using calibrated thermometers during operation.
Acceptance Criteria: The temperature must be within the specified range outlined in the URS.
Evidence: Recorded temperature logs.
Test Case: IQ-03 – Wash Time Verification
Procedure: Monitor the wash cycle duration to ensure compliance with specified wash time.
Acceptance Criteria: Wash time must meet or exceed the specified duration.
Evidence: Recorded time logs.
Test Case: IQ-04 – Wash Pressure Check
Procedure: Measure the wash pressure during operation using calibrated pressure gauges.
Acceptance Criteria: Pressure must be within the specified range as detailed in the URS.
Evidence: Recorded pressure logs.
Test Case: IQ-05 – Detergent Dosing Verification
Procedure: Verify the detergent dosing system functions correctly and doses the correct amount of detergent.
Acceptance Criteria: Detergent dosing must match the specifications outlined in the URS.
Evidence: Dosing logs and calibration records.
Test Case: IQ-06 – PLC Functionality Check
Procedure: Test the PLC to ensure it controls the Parts Washer as intended without errors.
Acceptance Criteria: PLC must operate correctly without any fault codes.
Evidence: PLC operational logs.
Deviations
Any deviations from the acceptance criteria must be documented and investigated. A corrective action plan should be developed to address any issues identified.
