Welcome to the Cove Jeff :bigwave:

There is lot of info on Installation Qualification (IQ), Operational Qualification (OQ) and Performance Qualification (PQ) in the cove. I used the search function to get the posts - see HERE (http://www.google.com/custom?hl=en&newwindow=1&client=pub-1385417534940691&channel=6124086287&cof=FORID%3A1%3BGL%3A1%3BS%3Ahttp%3A%2F%2FElsmar.com%2FForums%2F%3BL%3Ahttp%3A%2F%2Felsmar.com%2Fpng%2Fheader-G-search.png%3BLH%3A50%3BLW%3A350%3BLBGC%3A000099%3BT%3A%230000ff%3BLC%3A%23000000%3BVLC%3A%23663399%3BDIV%3A%23336699%3B&domains=Elsmar.com&ie=ISO-8859-1&oe=ISO-8859-1&q=IQ+OQ+PQ&sitesearch=Elsmar.com)

To start with, you should have a Level 2 procedure definingthe requirements of Qualification and validation. Equipments are QUALIFIED while the process is VALIDATED.

All Qualifications and Validation should be started with a Qualification / Validation protocol which defines how you will be going forward. Once the protocol is approved, carry out the requirements that have been mentioned in the protocol. If the requirements are successfully met, summarize in a Qualification / Validation Report.

For the contents of IQ, OQ and PQ, you could refer to the numerous threads that we have on the subject.

Best Luck :agree1:

Thanks for that. I should try to do it by myself instead of asking again and again.
BTW, shall we make an appointment in Suzhou?

From your post, am I right to deduce that you are manufacturing just a component or part for a medical device/equipment?

Does a component or part need to undergo IQ-OQ-PQ?

you just hit the keypoint, that's my confusion. But my client required that.
Actually, our company is a Electronic Manufacturing Service(EMS) company.
We just produce the PCBA inside the whole device. No samples can be referred.
thanks

Seek further clarification from your client. We had been looking at IQ/OP/PQ from the medical device aspect but it could be requirements related to your product. Such as:
IPC 6012 - Qualification and performance specifications related to printed circuit boards
IPC 9701 - Performance test methods and Qualification Requirements for surface mount solder attachments

my opinion is:
1. refer to the specifications of you product, make a well reviewed test script to show your product fit the specifications requirment.
2. if the need a sds(system design specification), you may refuse to release it, justification is that is your company property, but you can show them that you do have a design qualification process, include design review, change control,etc...
