What we do

  • Drafting and execution of qualification and validation protocols
  • AFP smoke study (Air Flow Pattern) for controlled-contamination environments
  • Thermal requalification of chambers, autoclaves and temperature-controlled environments
  • Support with defect kits for GMP visual inspection of vials, bottles and pharmaceutical containers
  • Change control management and assessment of impact on validation

The Eurosystem difference

We know regulated environments from the inside: qualification is not an isolated task but part of a cycle that integrates calibration, automation and access control under a single partner.

Frequently asked questions

Qualification of GMP instruments and equipment: answers to the most common questions

The questions we hear most often from Quality Assurance, Engineering and Validation managers before assigning a qualification activity.

What does a pharmaceutical instrumentation qualification service include?

A complete service covers the whole cycle: user requirements and risk assessment, DQ/IQ/OQ/PQ protocol writing, on-site testing with traceable reference standards, deviation management and an audit-ready final report. Eurosystem performs every phase with its own staff, following Annex 15 and GAMP 5, and links requalification deadlines to the instrument's metrology management.

What is the difference between calibration and qualification of an instrument?

Calibration compares the instrument with a traceable standard and documents its measurement error. Qualification demonstrates, through IQ/OQ/PQ protocols, that the equipment is correctly installed and fit for its intended use. Calibration is one of the pieces of evidence feeding qualification; it does not replace it.

How much does it cost to qualify an instrument in GMP?

It depends on the instrument's criticality, the number of OQ/PQ tests and the documentation already available: from a few hours for a simple sensor to several days for process equipment. A reliable quote requires the instrument list and risk assessment, which we provide free of charge.

Who can perform the qualification of a GMP instrument?

Qualified, trained personnel, in-house or from an external provider, working with protocols approved by the site's Quality Assurance and with traceable reference standards. Final responsibility stays with the license holder; the provider must be able to document skills, method and traceability.

How often must qualification be repeated?

Periodic requalification is defined on the basis of risk and equipment history, and is mandatory after significant changes (change control). We link requalification deadlines to the metrology schedule so nothing is left uncovered.
