Document ID: IQ-DCBF-001
Version: 1.0
Effective Date: 2023-10-01
Reviewed By: [Reviewer Name]
Approval Date: [Approval Date]
Objective
The objective of this Installation Qualification (IQ) protocol is to verify that the Dust Collector / Bag Filter system is installed correctly and operates as intended, ensuring compliance with the User Requirement Specification (URS).
Scope
This protocol applies to the Dust Collector / Bag Filter system used in the Production/Material Transfer area for solid dosage forms, impacting product quality directly.
Responsibilities
- Validation Team: Overall execution and documentation of the IQ protocol.
- Engineering Team: Installation and maintenance of the equipment.
- Quality Assurance: Review and approval of the protocol and results.
Prerequisites
- Equipment installation completed.
- All required documentation available (URS, design specifications).
- Personnel trained on equipment operation and validation processes.
Equipment Description
The Dust Collector / Bag Filter system is designed for dust collection from product streams during the manufacturing process. It is critical to maintain product quality by ensuring effective dust removal.
Test Plan
| Test ID | Procedure | Acceptance Criteria | Evidence |
|---|---|---|---|
| IQ-01 | Verify installation against equipment specifications. | All components installed as per specifications. | Installation checklist signed off. |
| IQ-02 | Check electrical connections and grounding. | No electrical faults; proper grounding established. | Electrical inspection report. |
| IQ-03 | Test DP pulse cleaning containment functionality. | Effective cleaning achieved without leakage. | Test results and observation notes. |
Detailed Test Cases
Test Case: IQ-01
Objective: Verify installation against equipment specifications.
Procedure: Conduct a walkthrough of the installation site, comparing the installed components to the specifications outlined in the URS.
Acceptance Criteria: All components must be installed as per specifications.
Evidence: Installation checklist signed off by the Validation Team.
Test Case: IQ-02
