Performance qualification (PQ) is the process of verifying that a system or equipment consistently performs effectively under real-world conditions. It confirms that the equipment meets specific standards and requirements over time, ensuring reliable and safe operation. PQ is an essential part of quality assurance, often used in manufacturing, laboratories, and regulated environments, to ensure products are made correctly and safely. Essentially, it proves that the equipment, when used as intended, produces consistent, high-quality results within expected parameters.
