Commissioning, Qualification & Validation (CQV)

Commissioning, qualification, and validation activities ensure that facilities, utilities, and equipment operate as intended and meet regulatory expectations. CQV is a foundational component of compliant manufacturing and laboratory environments.

CQV activities typically include installation qualification (IQ), operational qualification (OQ), and performance qualification (PQ), supported by appropriate documentation and change control. Effective CQV planning helps organizations achieve operational readiness while maintaining compliance.

Well-structured CQV programs support predictable startup timelines and inspection readiness.

CQV activities commonly include:

• Commissioning planning and execution

• IQ, OQ, and PQ development

• Equipment and facility qualification

• Integration with quality systems

• Ongoing qualification maintenance
