GMP Qualification Lifecycle

The Four Validation Stages
for DPP-250

Pharmaceutical equipment qualification follows a sequential four-stage lifecycle. Each stage builds on the previous one, and HIJ provides full documentation support for all four.

DQ
Design
IQ
Installation

Pre-Shipment & On-Site Verification

Factory Acceptance Test & Site Acceptance Test

Every DPP-250 is verified twice — at HIJ's Wenzhou facility before shipment, and again at your site after installation. Both tests are fully documented and form the foundation of your formal IQ execution.

Stage 1

Factory Acceptance Test (FAT)

Conducted at HIJ Wenzhou Factory — before shipment

Before your DPP-250 ships, HIJ conducts a full Factory Acceptance Test at our Wenzhou facility. You are invited to attend in person — or a third-party inspector can represent you.

FAT Scope for DPP-250
  • Full mechanical and electrical inspection
  • Dry run at specified speed: minimum 4 hours continuous operation
  • Forming and sealing temperature stability verification
  • All safety systems tested and documented
  • HMI and audit trail demonstration (21 CFR Part 11)
  • Change parts and tooling verification
  • Punch list: all open items documented and resolved before shipment
FAT Deliverables

FAT Report signed by HIJ QA + customer representative, video documentation of machine operation, pre-shipment inspection certificate.

Stage 2

Site Acceptance Test (SAT)

Conducted at your pharmaceutical manufacturing facility

After installation, a HIJ field engineer supports the Site Acceptance Test at your facility — confirming the machine arrived intact and operates correctly in your production environment.

SAT Scope
  • Re-verification of key parameters after transportation
  • Utility connection confirmation (compressed air, electrical)
  • Commissioning trial runs with surrogate product
  • Operator training: basic operation and cleaning procedures
  • Documentation handover: validation documents, drawings, manuals

SAT completion: Both HIJ engineer and customer QA sign the SAT completion certificate. This document serves as the formal starting point for your IQ execution.

Regulatory Compliance

DPP-250 and 21 CFR Part 11
Electronic Records Compliance

For pharmaceutical manufacturers operating under FDA jurisdiction — including US facilities and FDA-registered exporters — electronic records generated by the DPP-250 HMI must comply with 21 CFR Part 11. Below is a full breakdown of how the DPP-250 meets each requirement at the equipment level.

DPP-250 Part 11 Features
Requirement DPP-250 Implementation
User Access Control
Individual user accounts with defined access levels per role
Audit Trail
Automatic, time-stamped record of all parameter changes
Electronic Signatures
Operator ID + password required for batch record sign-off
Data Integrity
Records cannot be modified without an audit trail entry
Backup & Recovery
Automated data backup to external storage on schedule
System Validation
IQ/OQ documentation includes software validation records
21 CFR Part 11
Electronic Records & Electronic Signatures
FDA regulation governing electronic records and signatures in pharmaceutical manufacturing. DPP-250 HMI is designed to meet equipment-level Part 11 requirements.
21 CFR Parts 210 & 211
Current Good Manufacturing Practice (cGMP)
US cGMP regulations for finished pharmaceuticals. DPP-250 design, materials, and documentation align with Parts 210 and 211 requirements.
EU GMP — Annex 11
Computerised Systems
European equivalent guidance for computerised systems in GMP environments. DPP-250 audit trail and access control align with Annex 11 principles.
Important Note

Full 21 CFR Part 11 compliance is a system-level requirement that includes your facility's procedures and IT infrastructure in addition to the machine hardware and software. HIJ provides the equipment-level compliance foundation; your site validation team completes the system-level validation with your SOPs, IT environment, and Validation Master Plan.

Software Validation Records Included

Every DPP-250 ships with PLC software version records, HMI configuration documentation, and audit trail specification as standard — ready for your IQ protocol.

FDA-Registered Export Experience

HIJ has supported 21 CFR Part 11 validation at FDA-registered export facilities in Asia and Africa. Our field engineers understand what FDA inspectors look for.

Validation Expertise

Backed by 20 Years in Pharmaceutical Machinery

The most common validation failure I see at pharmaceutical factories globally is not equipment malfunction — it is incomplete documentation. A machine that runs perfectly but has no IQ completion report cannot be used in GMP production. At HIJ, we provide the documentation framework so your QA team can execute qualification efficiently and pass any regulatory inspection.

Frequently Asked Questions:
DPP-250 Blister Machine Validation

Common questions from QA managers, validation engineers, and pharmaceutical procurement teams about DPP-250 qualification and compliance support.

Yes. HIJ sends a qualified field engineer to your facility to support IQ and OQ execution alongside your QA team. The engineer brings all necessary calibration tools and documentation. Travel costs are discussed at the time of order. Contact sales@hijpackingmachine.com for details.
Typically 8–14 working days on-site, depending on your facility's readiness and the number of PQ batches required. IQ and OQ together usually take 3–5 days. PQ duration depends on your batch size and the number of runs required by your validation protocol.
Yes. All protocol templates are provided in editable Microsoft Word and Excel format. Your QA team can customize them to match your site's document numbering system and specific acceptance criteria before execution.
The documentation package is structured to meet 21 CFR Parts 210/211 requirements. For FDA-registered facilities, your QA team should review and adapt the templates to your site's validation master plan (VMP). HIJ provides the equipment-level documentation foundation. Contact sales@hijpackingmachine.com to discuss FDA-specific requirements.
If a parameter falls outside acceptance criteria during OQ, HIJ's engineer investigates the root cause immediately. A deviation report is generated, corrective action is taken, and the affected test is repeated. HIJ does not leave site until OQ is completed and all deviations are closed.
The DPP-250 HMI includes audit trail, user access control, and electronic records as standard features. Full 21 CFR Part 11 system-level compliance also requires your facility procedures and IT environment. HIJ provides the equipment-level compliance documentation to support your system validation.
Yes. HIJ has supported WHO GMP qualification at pharmaceutical facilities across India (Schedule M), Nigeria (NAFDAC), Kenya (PPB), Vietnam, Indonesia, Bangladesh, and Egypt. The DPP-250 validation package is designed around WHO GMP TRS 961 as the baseline standard.
FAT (Factory Acceptance Test) is conducted at HIJ's Wenzhou factory before shipment — it confirms the machine was built correctly and operates to specification. IQ (Installation Qualification) is conducted at your facility after delivery — it confirms the machine was installed correctly in your environment. FAT does not replace IQ; both are required for complete GMP qualification.
