IQ/OQ/PQ Protocol Template — GMP Computerized Systems

Version: 1.0 | Updated: 2026-11-10 | Reference: GAMP 5 Ed.2, EU GMP Annex 11, FDA 21 CFR Part 11

SECTION 2: SCOPE & OBJECTIVES

2.1 Scope

[Describe system boundaries — what is included and explicitly excluded from this qualification]

2.2 Objectives

  • IQ: Verify [system name] is installed correctly per design specifications
  • OQ: Verify [system name] operates correctly under expected operating conditions
  • PQ: Demonstrate [system name] performs consistently under actual production conditions

2.3 Risk Classification

Risk Level
Impact on Patient
Test Coverage Required
HIGH
Direct impact on product quality/safety
Highest assurance for GxP-critical functions — extent and depth defined and justified in a documented risk assessment
MEDIUM
Indirect impact
Reduced or sampled testing where justified by risk, complexity and supplier assessment
LOW
No GxP impact
Outside GxP validation scope — document the exclusion; normal IT/vendor controls apply

EU GMP Annex 11 §1 and §4.1: the extent of validation and the acceptance criteria are based on a justified and documented risk assessment — no fixed test-coverage percentage is mandated. Numbers in this template are examples to replace with your URS/Validation Plan.

OQ-AC01
Login with valid credentials
Enter correct username + password
Login successful, role-appropriate menu shown
□P □F
OQ-AC02
Login with invalid credentials
Enter incorrect password ([N] attempts, per approved security policy/URS)
Account locked or access blocked as defined in URS (e.g. after 3 failures)
□P □F
OQ-AC03
Session timeout
Leave system idle for [X] minutes
Automatic logout, re-authentication required
□P □F
OQ-AC04
Role-based access
Attempt restricted function as Operator
Access denied, error message displayed
□P □F

4.2 Audit Trail Testing

#
Test Case
Test Steps
Expected Result
Actual Result
Pass/Fail
OQ-AT01
Audit trail created on data entry
Enter a value in GxP-critical field
Audit trail shows: user, timestamp, field, value
□P □F
OQ-AT02
Audit trail on modification
Modify an existing entry
Audit trail shows old value, new value, reason, user
□P □F
OQ-AT03
Audit trail cannot be deleted or altered
Attempt to delete/modify audit trail entries with each role — via the UI and via the admin, API or database paths that exist in the system design
Not possible for unauthorised users; any permitted administrative action is itself recorded. A hidden or disabled button alone is not sufficient evidence
□P □F
OQ-AT04
Audit trail review access
Access audit trail as QA user
Full audit trail readable in chronological order
□P □F

4.3 Alarm Management Testing

□P □F
OQ-AL03
Critical alarm cannot be silenced without acknowledgment
Alarm persists until explicitly acknowledged
□P □F

SECTION 5: PERFORMANCE QUALIFICATION (PQ)

5.1 PQ Criteria

PQ demonstrates the system performs consistently under actual production conditions. The number of runs, duration and conditions are defined in the Validation Plan based on risk and representativeness (e.g. 3 consecutive successful runs).
