Our Expertise
Assuring Quality, Compliance & Performance from Day One
Delivering Ready-to-Operate Facilities Through Expert CQV Integration
Commissioning Management
As part of our turnkey project execution, our commissioning services validate that systems, utilities, and equipment are installed and functioning as per design. We manage the entire commissioning lifecycle—from strategy development to documentation and execution—ensuring seamless transition into qualification. Our proactive approach helps resolve issues early, reduce handover delays, and establish a baseline for regulatory compliance.
Installation Qualification (IQ)
We conduct IQ as a structured process during turnkey delivery to confirm that equipment and utilities are installed correctly and meet approved specifications. Our team manages all vendor documentation, installation verification, and system tagging to meet strict audit expectations. This process is fully integrated with our construction and handover workflows, ensuring zero gaps in documentation and compliance.
Operational Qualification (OQ)
Our OQ services evaluate systems and equipment under expected operating parameters. Built into our project management framework, we align test protocols with URS (User Requirement Specifications), ensuring all systems operate reliably and consistently. This phase is planned alongside construction and commissioning schedules for maximum efficiency and minimized downtime.
Performance Qualification (PQ)
PQ is conducted under real operating conditions to ensure systems and processes consistently deliver expected results. As part of our turnkey delivery, we schedule and execute PQ alongside trial runs or pilot production batches. Our protocols confirm product quality, environmental stability, and reproducibility, helping you meet regulatory expectations without project delays.

Frequently Asked Questions
CQV Services, or Commissioning, Qualification and Validation Services, verify that pharmaceutical facilities, systems, equipment and processes are properly designed, installed and operated for their intended use. CQV is an important part of GMP compliance and quality assurance in regulated manufacturing environments.
Qualification verifies that equipment, utilities and systems are properly designed, installed and operate as intended, while validation provides documented evidence that processes or systems consistently achieve their intended results. Both are important components of GMP-compliant pharmaceutical operations.
A Pharmaceutical Validation Consultant plans and supports validation activities to demonstrate that facilities, equipment, utilities and processes meet defined requirements. This can include validation planning, protocols, documentation, qualification activities and coordination with engineering and quality teams.
DQ, IQ, OQ and PQ are key qualification stages used to verify that pharmaceutical equipment and systems meet defined requirements. Design Qualification (DQ) verifies the design, Installation Qualification (IQ) verifies installation, Operational Qualification (OQ) verifies operation and Performance Qualification (PQ) verifies consistent performance under intended conditions.
CQV planning should begin during the earlier stages of a pharmaceutical project rather than only after construction is complete. Early planning allows qualification requirements to be considered during design, equipment selection, installation and commissioning, helping create the documentation and evidence needed for GMP readiness.
Equipment and systems that can affect product quality, patient safety or GMP compliance may require qualification. Depending on the facility, this can include manufacturing equipment, HVAC systems, cleanrooms, utilities, water systems and other critical systems identified through the project’s qualification strategy.
Pharmaceutical cleanrooms are qualified by verifying that critical environmental and operational parameters meet predefined requirements. Depending on the cleanroom classification and project scope, qualification can involve airflow, pressure differentials, temperature, humidity, particle levels, HEPA filter performance and other applicable tests.
HVAC and utility qualification verifies that critical systems consistently perform according to approved specifications. Activities may include installation checks, operational testing, performance verification and documented qualification of systems such as HVAC, purified water, compressed air and other critical utilities.
Qualification and Validation Services typically require documented plans, specifications, protocols, test records, reports and approval records. Depending on the project, documentation can cover DQ, IQ, OQ, PQ, commissioning, system testing, deviations, corrective actions and final qualification reports.
Collabtec provides Qualification and Validation Services (CQV) for regulated facilities by supporting the qualification and validation of equipment, systems and processes. Its approach integrates engineering, commissioning and validation requirements to help pharmaceutical and other regulated facilities achieve documented GMP readiness.
