Commissioning has become an essential step to insure building systems are installed and operating properly, according to the design intent, before the building is occupied. In regulated industries like the pharmaceutical, biotechnology, and medical device industries, Commissioning and Qualification activities are the foundation for achieving regulatory compliance and for moving into the Process Validation stage. A well-planned and well-executed Commissioning and Qualification effort will accelerate the operation and production activities of the facility, leading to the ultimate goal of producing a marketable product.
