Documentation as per Designing guideline (DQ, IQ, OQ)

Your Trusted Partner in Turnkey Clean Room Solutions

At SUN CleanAir Systems, Vasai, our commitment to precision, reliability, and regulatory compliance extends far beyond manufacturing state-of-the-art cleanroom equipment and solutions. One of the foundational pillars of our quality assurance system is thorough documentation, particularly following the globally recognized engineering and validation protocols: Design Qualification (DQ), Installation Qualification (IQ), and Operational Qualification (OQ).

Understanding DQ, IQ, OQ: The Backbone of Compliant Cleanroom Design
Design Qualification (DQ)

DQ is the first and foundational step in the validation lifecycle. It ensures that the design specifications for cleanroom systems, HVAC modules, pass boxes, biosafety cabinets, and other cleanroom equipment align with user requirements and industry regulations (such as GMP, ISO 14644, or FDA standards).

At SUN CleanAir Systems:

  • We work closely with our clients to define clear User Requirement Specifications (URS).
  • We verify that our proposed designs - layouts, material specifications, airflow systems - meet the intended functionality and regulatory needs.
  • All critical design assumptions are documented, reviewed, and approved before manufacturing begins.
Installation Qualification (IQ)

Once the system or equipment is delivered and installed at the customer’s site, IQ ensures that it has been installed correctly and safely as per the design documents and manufacturer’s recommendations.

Our IQ process includes:

  • Detailed verification of equipment make/model, component listings, and electrical/mechanical configurations.
  • Calibration records of instruments, filters, and gauges.
  • Verification of proper connections, earthing, air filtration installation, and panel wiring.
  • Documentation of adherence to installation checklists and SOPs.
Operational Qualification (OQ)

After installation, OQ ensures that the system operates according to the intended performance criteria under defined environmental conditions.

SUN CleanAir’s OQ documentation includes:

  • Performance testing of airflow velocity, differential pressure, temperature, humidity, and particle count.
  • Functional verification of equipment operations like pass box interlocking, laminar flow unit airflow pattern, and door access control.
  • Alarms and fail-safe testing to ensure system responsiveness.
  • Establishing performance baselines and recording them as reference data for future requalification.
