Objective
The objective of this Design Qualification (DQ) protocol is to verify that the HMI System meets the specified requirements and is suitable for its intended use in the production area, ensuring compliance with regulatory standards.
Scope
This protocol applies to the HMI System utilized in the manufacturing automation process, specifically for operator interface and equipment control, directly impacting product quality and compliance.
Responsibilities
The Validation Team is responsible for executing this protocol, while the Quality Assurance department will review and approve all documentation.
Prerequisites
1. Completion of User Requirements Specification (URS).
2. Installation of HMI System in the production environment.
3. Availability of relevant Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs).
Equipment Description
The HMI System is a software interface that allows operators to control manufacturing equipment, providing critical functionalities such as monitoring, data entry, and system alerts.
Test Plan
| Test ID | Procedure | Acceptance Criteria | Evidence |
|---|---|---|---|
| T001 | Verify audit trail functionality | Audit trail logs all operator actions | Audit trail report |
| T002 | Test operator access control | Access restricted to authorized personnel only | Access control logs |
| T003 | Check system integrity measures | System integrity checks pass without errors | Integrity check report |
Detailed Test Cases
Test Case T001: Verify Audit Trail Functionality
Procedure: Log in as an operator and perform various actions. Check the audit trail logs for accuracy.
Expected Result: All actions should be logged with timestamps and user IDs.
Test Case T002: Test Operator Access Control
Procedure: Attempt to access the HMI System with unauthorized credentials.
Expected Result: Access should be denied, and an alert should be generated.
Test Case T003: Check System Integrity Measures
Procedure: Execute integrity checks on the system post-configuration.
Expected Result: All integrity checks should pass without any discrepancies.
Deviations
Any deviations from the acceptance criteria must be documented and reviewed by the Validation Team and Quality Assurance for appropriate corrective actions.
