Installation Qualification Protocol for pH Meter in QC Laboratory
Objective
The objective of this Installation Qualification (IQ) protocol is to verify that the pH Meter is installed correctly and operates according to the specified requirements outlined in the User Requirement Specification (URS) Annex 11.
Scope
This protocol applies to the pH Meter used in the QC Laboratory for pH measurement, impacting product quality directly.
Responsibilities
Validation Team: Responsible for executing the IQ protocol and documenting results.
Quality Assurance: Responsible for reviewing and approving the protocol and results.
Prerequisites
Ensure that the pH Meter is delivered, unpacked, and positioned in the designated area of the QC Lab. All necessary documentation must be available prior to execution of this protocol.
Equipment Description
The pH Meter is a precision instrument designed for accurate measurement of pH levels in various samples. It features a digital display, calibration capabilities, and data logging functions.
Test Plan
| Test ID | Procedure | Acceptance | Evidence |
|---|---|---|---|
| IQ-01 | Verify installation location and environmental conditions. | Installation meets specified conditions. | Photographic evidence and environmental logs. |
| IQ-02 | Check calibration against standard pH solutions. | Calibration within acceptable range. | Calibration records. |
| IQ-03 | Review audit trail functionality. | Audit trail captures all necessary events. | Audit trail report. |
