In the pharmaceutical industry, accurate measurements are vital. Even slight errors can result in dangerous and potentially deadly consequences. This is why reliable equipment validation is so critical in the pharmaceutical industry. IQ OQ PQ represents a way to help ensure reliable performance for equipment for pharmaceutical industry purposes.

IQ, OQ, and PQ stand for installation qualification, operational qualification, and performance qualification, respectively. They represent quality assurance protocols for each phase of the manufacturing process for pharmaceutical equipment. Since the pharmaceutical industry is heavily regulated by the FDA, it is essential to follow IQ, OQ, and PQ protocols.
