Commissioning, Qualification, and Validation (CQV) is the formal process of proving that a new manufacturing system is installed correctly and operates exactly as intended. Commissioning verifies the physical installation, qualification tests the operational limits, and validation proves the process consistently produces a product meeting all quality attributes. It is a strict requirement in regulated industries like pharmaceuticals.
