Objective
The objective of this Installation Qualification (IQ) protocol is to verify that the Solvent Storage Tank (SS/GL) is installed correctly and functions according to the specified requirements for the storage of solvents in API manufacturing.
Scope
This protocol applies to the Solvent Storage Tank located in the Production Area and includes all associated systems and components necessary for its operation.
Responsibilities
The Validation Team is responsible for executing this protocol, ensuring compliance with regulatory requirements, and documenting all findings. The Quality Assurance (QA) department will review and approve the protocol and its outcomes.
Prerequisites
- Completion of installation of the Solvent Storage Tank.
- Availability of operation manuals and technical specifications.
- Training of personnel on equipment use and safety protocols.
Equipment Description
The Solvent Storage Tank (SS/GL) is designed to store solvents used in chemical synthesis and purification processes. It features a level indicator, temperature control, pressure monitoring, and a PLC audit trail for data integrity.
Test Plan
| Test ID | Procedure | Acceptance Criteria | Evidence |
|---|---|---|---|
| IQ-01 | Verify installation against design specifications. | Installation meets all specified design requirements. | Installation checklist signed off by the installer. |
| IQ-02 | Check functionality of level, temperature, and pressure sensors. | All sensors report accurate readings within specified ranges. | Calibration certificates and sensor readouts. |
| IQ-03 | Review PLC audit trail logs for data integrity. | Logs show no discrepancies or unauthorized access. | Audit trail log report. |
