Commissioning, qualification and validation can consume a capital project when every system gets the full treatment regardless of risk. ISPE's complimentary webinar — , 10:00–11:00 a.m. ET — makes the case for a risk-based, scalable approach to CQV instead.

What it covers

The session explores how organizations can adopt a risk-based, scalable approach to CQV rather than applying uniform standards across all systems — practical strategies for streamlining qualification effort, leveraging supplier documentation instead of repeating it, and using grouping approaches to improve efficiency while maintaining compliance and product quality.

Who should attend

Validation and C&Q engineers who own protocol libraries; quality leaders deciding how much supplier documentation to accept; and anyone whose capital project schedule currently treats a lab fridge and a lyophilizer with equal ceremony. An hour on right-sizing that effort is one of the cheaper schedule recoveries available.

ISPE's autumn calendar continues with a visual inspection webinar on 1 October and the 2026 ISPE Annual Meeting & Expo — and the full events directory lists everything we have verified.
