Background

The qualification of equipment is an essential requirement in the EU GMP Guide and in the revised Annex 15. Yet, compared to USP chapter <1058>, none of the two documents provide any details related to lab equipment. With the revision of Annex 15, the question arises whether Annex 15 also applies to laboratory equipment.

Target Group

Addressed is laboratory personnel involved in qualification activities of laboratory equipment. Quality Assurance staff, who is interested in laboratory equipment qualification as well as - of course - manufacturers of laboratory equipment and service providers in the qualification of laboratory equipment are also addressed.
