What IQ, OQ, and PQ mean

  • IQ (Installation Qualification): Verify the system is installed correctly and documented properly.

  • OQ (Operational Qualification): Verify the system operates as intended across defined operating ranges.

  • PQ (Performance Qualification): Verify performance under real use conditions, including typical loads and workflows.

Why it matters

IQ, OQ, and PQ create the documented evidence chain that supports compliant operation. Without it, deviations are harder to investigate, audits become stressful, and expansions slow down.

The problem

The process is often slow and fragmented

Many organizations face the same issues when qualifying fridges, freezers, cold rooms, stability chambers, warehouses, and other controlled environments:

  • Documentation takes too long: Protocols, test plans, deviations, and final reports consume weeks of internal effort.

  • Operational disruption: Teams must coordinate access, scheduling, and re testing while keeping operations running.

  • Inconsistent methods: Different sites and vendors create variation that increases audit risk.

  • Data integrity concerns: Unclear record control, missing audit trails, or poor traceability create compliance exposure.

Result: delayed go live, higher cost, and avoidable findings during inspections.

The Seemoto approach

One provider, one consistent qualification model

Seemoto delivers a structured IQ, OQ, PQ service package designed for regulated operations.

  • Standardized qualification templates aligned with GMP and GDP expectations

  • Clear acceptance criteria tied to your URS and operational requirements

  • Traceable evidence with controlled documentation and versioning

  • Practical execution designed to minimize disruption in active sites

This can be delivered as a complete turnkey engagement or as modular support, depending on your internal capability and regulatory context.

How the service works

1. Scope and requirements alignment

  • Define the unit or area to qualify

  • Confirm intended use, risk level, and acceptance criteria

  • Align documentation expectations and timelines

2. Protocol package creation

  • IQ protocol

  • OQ protocol

  • PQ protocol

  • Deviation and corrective action templates

  • Summary and final report structure

  • 3. Execution and evidence collection

  • On site or guided execution model

  • Controlled recording of test steps and results

  • Deviation handling and documented resolutions

  • 4. Review and approval workflow

  • Draft review with your QA and operations

  • Final report issued with full traceability

  • 5. Handover and readiness support

  • Audit readiness guidance

  • Optional transition into continuous monitoring and ongoing compliance reporting

  • What we qualify

    Typical units and controlled environments

    • Medical and vaccine refrigerators

    • Laboratory freezers, including ultra low temperature storage

    • Cold rooms and walk in storage

    • Stability chambers and incubators

    • Controlled warehouses and distribution areas

    • Production adjacent controlled zones

    If you have multiple similar units across sites, we can standardize the qualification approach to reduce cost and cycle time.

    Where this is used

    Common qualification triggers

    • New equipment introduction or replacement

    • Site expansion or new storage rooms

    • Change control events, such as layout or set point changes

    • Audit findings related to documentation gaps

    • Transition to GDP or GMP operations

    Professional services options

    Choose the engagement model that fits your organization

    Option 1: Turnkey on site qualification

    • Seemoto executes IQ, OQ, and PQ and delivers the final report package.

    Option 2: Remote guided qualification

    • Seemoto provides protocols, guides your team through execution, and produces the analysis and report.

    Option 3: Documentation and QA support only

    • Seemoto delivers protocol templates, review support, and report structure so your team can execute internally.

    Compliance alignment

    Seemoto supports qualification work in environments governed by:

    • GMP: controlled production and quality systems

    • GDP: compliant distribution and storage

    • FDA 21 CFR Part 11: data integrity and electronic records expectations (when applicable)

    • EN 12830: where temperature monitoring device compliance is required in cold chain contexts

    This page is not a regulatory interpretation. Final compliance responsibility remains with the regulated organization.

    From Mapping to Continuous Monitoring

    Seemoto allows organizations to extend temperature mapping into long-term continuous monitoring, using the same wireless infrastructure.


    This ensures:

    • Continuous compliance between validation cycles

    • Immediate alerts during temperature excursions

    • Long-term trend analysis and early risk detection


    Mapping becomes part of an ongoing quality strategy rather than a recurring operational burden.

    Commonly asked questions

    What are IQ, OQ, and PQ in GMP and GDP environments?

  • IQ verifies correct installation, OQ verifies correct operation within defined limits, and PQ verifies performance under real operating conditions. Together, they provide documented evidence that your temperature-controlled process remains compliant.

  • Which units can be qualified with Seemoto IQ/OQ/PQ services?

  • Cold rooms, warehouses, refrigerators, freezers, incubators, stability chambers, and ultra-low temperature storage such as biobank freezers. The final scope depends on risk, product sensitivity, and your compliance expectations.

  • Do IQ/OQ/PQ services include temperature mapping and distribution studies?

  • Yes, when required by risk assessment or compliance needs. Mapping confirms temperature uniformity, identifies hot and cold spots, and supports correct sensor placement and alarm limits.

  • Can Seemoto support electronic records and audit trail expectations (21 CFR Part 11)?

  • Yes. Seemoto supports secure logging and audit-trail-ready documentation practices. If Part 11-specific controls are required, define them during the qualification planning stage.

  • How does this connect to ongoing monitoring?

    After qualification, many customers transition to continuous monitoring with centralized reporting and alerting to maintain compliance over time.
