CQV

20 years of CQV success

Pharmaceutical, Biotechnology, and Life Sciences industries necessitate high-standard Commissioning, Qualification, and Validation (CQV) as prescribed by industry guidance and regulations. CQV produces documented evidence, ensuring consistent and quality results. APF Projects offers an integrated project approach based on the ISPE Baseline Guide Volume 5: Commissioning and Qualification, 2nd Edition, which includes ASTM E2500 and ICH Q9 principles. This approach saves cost and time while meeting regulatory expectations.

To address evolving regulatory requirements and the need for efficient CQV activities, APF Projects focuses on optimised planning and deploying skilled CQV resources. They provide services such as audit preparation, cost and timeline estimates, ongoing CQV support, and assistance with audit remediation, deviations, CAPAs, and FMEAs.
