A practical, example-driven guide to writing Installation and Operational Qualification (IOQ) protocols.
What you'll learn
- Develop clear, audit-ready IOQ test protocols
- Apply best practices for test script creation
- Understand the purpose of Installation and Operational Qualification (IOQ) protocols
- Write test steps, expected results, and clear acceptance criteria
Requirements
- No prior experience with IOQ documentation is required — this course starts from first principles and builds up to real-world examples.
Description
Writing Installation and Operational Qualification (IOQ) protocols is one of the most important yet often misunderstood aspects of pharmaceutical equipment validation.
This course provides the practical knowledge and confidence needed to write IOQ protocols that are clear, compliant, and efficient while remaining easy to execute on the shop floor.
Through real world examples, you will learn how to document installation checks such as software version, network configuration, time synchronization, and antivirus verification, along with operational tests covering user access control, audit trails, and alarm handling that demonstrate compliance and data integrity.
You will discover how to structure each section of an IOQ, from the cover page to the test summary, using industry standard templates and good documentation practices. The course explains how to define objective expected results, record actual outcomes, attach evidence, and manage deviations or controlled changes in a compliant and traceable way.
By the end, you will be able to create IOQ protocols that stand up to audit scrutiny, align with 21 CFR Part 11, Annex 11, and GAMP 5, and make qualification activities more consistent, faster, and reliable across different projects.
This is not a theory heavy course. It is a practical, example based guide that shows you how to write IOQs that are professional, compliant, and ready for real world execution.
Who this course is for:
- Validation engineers, quality professionals, and CSV specialists who want to write clearer, audit-ready IOQ protocols.
