Whilst the first two stages confirm technical compliance and proper operation under no-load conditions, <strong>PQ<\/strong> marks the decisive transition from theoretical performance to scientific proof under real-world conditions.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>In the pharmaceutical industry and sectors subject to Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP)<\/strong>, controlling the risk of contamination is an absolute regulatory requirement.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>In these environments with a high level of microbiological control, airborne surface disinfection (ASD) is now a recognised method for the terminal bio-decontamination of critical areas. But how can the effectiveness of this process be demonstrated, in a scientific and auditable manner, within a real-world environment? This article details the objectives of <strong>Performance Qualification (PQ)<\/strong>, its microbiological methodology, its success criteria, and the expert support developed to meet auditors\u2019 requirements.[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text css=&#8221;&#8221;]<\/p>\n<h3>What is the purpose of Performance Qualification (PQ) ?<\/h3>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text css=&#8221;&#8221;]<\/p>\n<h4>VERIFICATION OF COMPLIANCE UNDER REAL OPERATING CONDITIONS<\/h4>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text css=&#8221;&#8221;]Unlike the <strong>IQ<\/strong> and <strong>OQ<\/strong> <strong>phases<\/strong>, <strong>PQ<\/strong> must be carried out in the final production environment.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>It takes into account:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>The exact layout of the premises.<\/li>\n<li>The presence of equipment.<\/li>\n<li>The actual load.<\/li>\n<li>Site-specific operational constraints (air handling systems, volume variations).<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>\u21aa <strong>PQ<\/strong> no longer validates just a single machine; it validates the interaction of a process with a given industrial ecosystem.[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text css=&#8221;&#8221;]<\/p>\n<h4>A KEY STEP IN ENSURING DRUG SAFETY<\/h4>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text css=&#8221;&#8221;]<strong>In the pharmaceutical industry, PQ<\/strong> is directly integrated into the strategy for controlling contamination and protecting the Critical Quality Attributes (CQAs) of the finished product.

Rigorous and auditable microbiological methodology<\/h3>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text css=&#8221;&#8221;]The implementation of a <strong>PQ<\/strong> relies on precision. It is based on a strict protocol designed to provide evidence of repeatability and robustness.[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text css=&#8221;&#8221;]<\/p>\n<h4>FUNDAMENTAL PRINCIPLE: 3 CONSECUTIVE COMPLIANT RUNS<\/h4>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][vc_row_inner content_placement=&#8221;middle&#8221;][vc_column_inner width=&#8221;1\/3&#8243;][vc_single_image image=&#8221;29118&#8243; img_size=&#8221;FULL&#8221; css=&#8221;&#8221;][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=&#8221;2\/3&#8243;][vc_column_text css=&#8221;&#8221;]The basic protocol requirement is based on the execution of three successive disinfection cycles, carried out under identical conditions.

A 6-log reduction means that the population is reduced by a factor of 10\u2076. If a surface initially has 1,000,000 spores, the treatment must reduce this number to fewer than 1 surviving spore.[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text css=&#8221;&#8221;]<\/p>\n<h4>REGULATORY CONSIDERATIONS<\/h4>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text css=&#8221;&#8221;]The <strong>validation of bio-decontamination<\/strong> cycles relies on the use of biological indicators, which generally contain a population of around 10\u2076 spores.
