Validation lifecycle management

Built for the 95% of manufacturers enterprise tools ignore

Valiqa generates audit-defensible IQ/OQ/PQ protocols with regulatory traceability, Part 11 audit trails, and acceptance criteria that survive FDA and ISO audits. Built by a validation engineer who watched teams drown in Word templates because nobody told them there was another way.

Protocol types

10 protocol generators in one platform

Each mode is purpose-built for a specific validation document type.

IQ Mode

Installation Qualification

Verifies that equipment is received, installed, and configured according to manufacturer specifications and site requirements. Covers documentation checks, utility connections, safety systems, and calibration status.

What Valiqa generates

  • Documentation verification steps
  • Equipment identification and nameplate checks
  • Utility and electrical installation verification
  • Safety system and interlock testing
  • Firmware/software version recording
  • Calibration status verification

Regulatory coverage

FDA 21 CFR 820
ISO 13485
GAMP 5
EU MDR
Before & after

The audit is coming. Is your documentation ready?

Auditors do not care how fast you wrote it. They care whether it is defensible, traceable, and complete.

VAL-IQ-2026-001
Model: UltraPure 300Location: Quality Control Lab, Room 204Rev A
IQ-001Documentation Verification

Verify that the manufacturer's installation manual, operating manual, and certificate of conformance are present and match the purchase order specifications.

Acceptance: All three documents present. Serial number on certificate matches equipment nameplate.
Ref: 21 CFR 820.72(a), ISO 13485:2016 7.5.1
IQ-002Equipment Identification

Record and verify equipment nameplate data: manufacturer, model number, serial number, electrical rating, and manufacturing date.

Acceptance: All nameplate fields legible and matching purchase order. Electrical rating compatible with facility supply (208-240V, 50/60 Hz).
Ref: 21 CFR 820.184(a), GHTF/SG3/N99-10
IQ-003Utility Connections

Verify feed water supply connection: pressure within 20-80 psi, hardness below 15 gpg, chlorine below 1.0 ppm. Record inlet pressure gauge reading.

Acceptance: Feed water pressure: 20-80 psi measured. Hardness and chlorine within spec per manufacturer requirements.
Ref: ISO 13485:2016 6.3, 21 CFR 820.70(c)
IQ-004Electrical Installation

Verify dedicated circuit installation: correct voltage (208-240V), amperage (20A), grounding continuity, and GFCI protection. Confirm lockout/tagout capability.

Acceptance: Measured voltage within +/-10% of rated. Ground continuity < 1 ohm. GFCI functional. LOTO point accessible and labeled.
Ref: 21 CFR 820.70(c), NFPA 70
IQ-005Software/Firmware

Record installed firmware version from the system controller display. Verify against manufacturer's current release notes for any safety-related updates.

Acceptance: Firmware version documented. No outstanding safety-related updates per manufacturer bulletin.
Ref: 21 CFR Part 11.10(a), GAMP 5 Cat. 1
IQ-006Safety Systems

Verify emergency stop button location and function. Test high-pressure shutoff, leak detection sensor, and door interlock. Confirm all alarms are audible.

Acceptance: E-stop halts all operations within 2 seconds. High-pressure shutoff activates at manufacturer threshold. Leak sensor triggers alarm and drain valve.
Ref: ISO 14971:2019 6.2, 21 CFR 820.30(g)
IQ-007Calibration Status

Verify calibration status of all integrated instruments: conductivity meter, TOC analyzer, flow meter, pressure gauges. Record calibration due dates.

Acceptance: All instruments within calibration interval. Calibration certificates traceable to NIST or equivalent national standard.
Ref: 21 CFR 820.72(b), ISO 13485:2016 7.6

7 of 12 test steps shown. Valiqa generates the full protocol in minutes.

Compliance infrastructure

Compliance is not an add-on. It is the foundation.

Every protocol Valiqa generates is built on the compliance infrastructure QA directors and auditors expect.

User, timestamp, action, full before/after values

Part 11 Audit Trail

Every change to every protocol, test step, and equipment record is logged with who changed it, when, and what the values were before and after. Insert-only. Tamper-proof. Exactly what 21 CFR Part 11 requires.

Requirement to test step mapping

Traceability Matrix

Every test step maps back to a regulatory requirement. Every requirement maps forward to a test. Coverage gaps are flagged automatically so you find them before the auditor does.

19 regulatory frameworks

Regulatory Cross-Reference

Protocols auto-link to FDA 21 CFR 820, ISO 13485, GAMP 5, EU MDR, MDSAP, and industry-specific standards. No more manual reference lookup. No more outdated citations.

Industries

Built for your industry

If your team validates equipment, processes, or software in a regulated environment and you have been doing it in Word and Excel, Valiqa was built for you.

Stakeholders

One platform, every stakeholder covered

Whether you write the protocols, approve the budget, or answer to the auditor. Valiqa solves a different problem for each of you.

You write the protocols

Stop rebuilding from scratch every time

Equipment-specific test steps, acceptance criteria, and regulatory references generated in minutes. Not templates. Actual content you would write yourself, if you had the time.

Validation engineers, manufacturing engineers, process engineers

You approve the budget

Cut protocol cycle time from weeks to hours

One engineer can do the work that used to take three. Protocols that took days of copy, paste, and modify now take minutes to generate and review.

QA managers, ops directors, plant managers

You answer to the auditor

Every protocol audit-ready from day one

Built-in traceability matrix, Part 11 audit trail, and regulatory cross-references. Gaps get flagged before the auditor arrives, not during the audit.

Quality directors, VP operations, regulatory affairs

Why Valiqa exists

A Manufacturing Automation Engineer spent years commissioning production lines in regulated environments. Programming PLCs, configuring machine vision systems, and running full IQ/OQ/PQ validation under ISO 13485. Every protocol was a Word document copied from the last one. Every regulatory reference was pasted by hand. The validation was important. The tooling was not.

The problem was not that better software did not exist somewhere. It did. But it was built for the top 20 pharmaceutical companies in the world, priced accordingly, and sold through enterprise sales teams that would never return a call from a 50-person medical device shop.

That left the other 95% of regulated manufacturers doing validation the same way they have done it for decades: manually, in Word, one protocol at a time. Not because they chose to. Because nobody told them there was another way. Valiqa exists to change that.
