Dispensing Booth – Equipment Validation SOP

Standard Operating Procedure for Validation of Dispensing Booth

Purpose

This SOP outlines the validation process for the Dispensing Booth used in the weighing of API raw materials to ensure compliance with regulatory requirements and to maintain product quality.

Scope

This procedure applies to the Dispensing Booth utilized in the API Manufacturing area for weighing critical raw materials.

Definitions

  • API: Active Pharmaceutical Ingredient
  • DQ: Design Qualification
  • IQ: Installation Qualification
  • OQ: Operational Qualification
  • PQ: Performance Qualification
  • URS: User Requirements Specification

Roles

  • Validation Team: Responsible for executing the validation process.
  • Quality Assurance: Ensures compliance with SOPs and regulatory standards.
  • Production Team: Operates the Dispensing Booth and follows established procedures.

Lifecycle Procedure

  1. Conduct Design Qualification (DQ) to confirm that the Dispensing Booth meets user requirements.
  2. Perform Installation Qualification (IQ) to verify that equipment is installed correctly.
  3. Execute Operational Qualification (OQ) to ensure the equipment operates within specified limits.
  4. Complete Performance Qualification (PQ) to confirm that the equipment performs effectively in the production environment.

GDP Controls

Good Documentation Practices (GDP) must be followed throughout the validation process, including accurate record-keeping and document control.

Acceptance Criteria Governance

Acceptance criteria must align with the User Requirements Specification (URS) as per ISO 14644 Annex 15, ensuring that the Dispensing Booth meets cleanliness and operational standards.

Calibration/PM Governance

The Dispensing Booth must undergo regular calibration and preventive maintenance (PM) as per the established schedule, ensuring continued compliance and performance.
