Execution of a qualification measurement at a production plant in pharmaceutical manufacturing area.

Qualification of plants and utilities

The risk-based qualification of your process plants, supply systems and utilities ensures long-term process stability and robustness. We support you in your qualification projects or take over the complete handling.

For every qualification task, from the qualification of individual devices to complex plants, GMP upgrades or new construction projects in the compliance area, we offer you the necessary know-how and additional resources.
You receive solutions tailored to your needs with the appropriate Risk management as well as flexible time and resource planning. For optimized utilization, we also offer temporary or permanent support through our qualification engineers.

Production, filling and packaging equipment

The risk-based qualification of production, filling and packaging plants plays a central role in the quality assurance of medicinal products and medical devices. Testo Industrial Services supports you in ensuring the qualified status over the entire plant life cycle - from the preparation of the risk analysis to initial qualification and requalification.

Measurements and tests of your process plants:

Preparation of the risk analyses and conceptual design of the qualification activities
Carrying out all qualification tests and providing equipment
Preparation of qualification plans and reports
Implementation of requalification measures
Calibration of all quality-relevant measuring points

VENT systems

As part of the qualification, Testo Industrial Services provides proof that a clean air system (AHU) has the necessary performance capability for the application. The VENT qualification is, among other things, an integral part of the clean room qualification.

Carrying out a qualification measurement on an air handling unit

Measurements & tests of your air handling units:

Commissioning and control engineering calibration of ventilation systems and distribution systems
Conducting the qualification tests
Determination of air volumes and climate conditions
Carrying out all tests as part of the installation qualification of the ventilation components
Calibration of all test-relevant measuring points
Testing of hygiene requirements for air handling units according to VDI 6022

Process gases

Compressed air and other sterile and non-sterile pharmaceutical gases are subject to stringent purity requirements, as any impurities are associated with high risks in terms of drug safety. We support you in the regular control of gases to ensure consistent and robust product quality.
