History
The AHU-6 and MAU-1 HVAC system includes Air Handling Unit (AHU-6) and Make Up Air Unit (MAU-
1). AHU-6 was purchased from York International in October 1994. AHU-6 was designed and
installed to supply recirculating air to rooms: 123–125. MAU-1 was purchased as part of the
building and operated to supply make up air to the AHU-6 and rooms 120-125, 111, 113, 114, 117,
118,and both service corridors.
Description
The major equipment / components of the AHU-6 and MAU-1 HVAC system include Air Handler Unit
AHU-6, Make Up Air Unit MAU-1, Humidi er H-1, twelve (12) reheat coils RHC-1-RHC-9 and RHC-19 –
RHC-21 and fourteen (14) exhaust fans EF-1 - EF-12, and EF-15 - EF-17.
AHU–6 is a recirculating air handling unit, which provides a constant volume of air ow to rooms
123,124, and 125. It is equipped with a Pre Cooling coil, Preheat coil and 65% e ciency air lters.
AHU-6 provides air ow using outside air from MAU-1 mixed with return air.
MAU-1 provides conditioned air to rooms 111, 113, 114, 117, 118, and 120-125 utilizing 100%
outside air. It is equipped with one (1) reheat coil and two (2) cooling coils. It has 35% e ciency pre-
lters and 95% e ciency bag lters, it also utilizes eleven (11) Variable Air Volume controllers VAV-
A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H and VAV-j, K and L. one (1) Steam Humidi er H-1 located in the supply air duct
downstream from MAU-1 provides humidi cation
The system is designed to provide personnel comfort. Performance criteria for the system are:
Rationale
This protocol will be performed utilizing 21 CFR 210 & 211, ICH Q-7A Good Manufacturing Practice
Guidance for Active Pharmaceutical Ingredients, August 2001,.
Upon nal approval of this IQ Protocol and Summary Report it will replace the previous IQ study
and render it obsolete. The system will also be placed under formal change control in accordance

with Company XChange Control Program summarized in Standard Operating Procedure
DNAP/QM/012 entitled “Change Control System”.
The system boundary is de ned as the supply utility service rst point of contact with the
system/equipment being installation quali ed. In most cases this is interpreted as the rst inlet
manual valve or motor control/electrical panel providing supply of said utility.

3.0 OBJECTIVE
The intent of this Installation Quali cation (IQ) is to provide a complete inventory of major
equipment and/or components installed on the HVAC AHU-6 and MAU-1 system and to ensure that:
Major components are those as speci ed in system manuals, contractors’ submittals, original
purchase orders or approved equivalents. These major components will be veri ed during
execution of this protocol.
All critical instruments are calibrated and placed within the calibration program as de ned in
MF/SOP/178.
Operation manuals for the system or equipment are identi ed and available.
Required spare parts are identi ed
System or equipment maintenance requirements are clearly de ned and documented and
are placed in the Preventative Maintenance Program as de ned in MF/SOP/179.
System or equipment cleaning procedures are established and current.
Lubricants will be identi ed and evaluated for acceptability during execution of this protocol.

AHU-6 and MAU-1 system).
4.0 SCOPE
This protocol will be limited to the HVAC AHU-6 & MAU-1 System at Company X, Inc., Address
During the execution of this protocol, determination of the calibration frequencies and formalized
procedures will be provided to AAC Consulting Group, Inc. (AAC) by Company X, Inc. Company X will
calibrate all instrumentation requiring calibration with traceability to NIST and certi cates of
calibration provided to AAC for inclusion in the applicable section of this protocol.
The operation of AHU-6 and MAU-1 are controlled by Johnson Controls’ Metasys Air Handling Unit
Controllers with sensors monitoring air/water temperature, humidity and air/water pressure. The
operation is monitored through the use of the Metacomm system as a Building Management
System (BMS). Metasys VAV Controllers are provided for the control of each VAV box. The BMS
control system will be quali ed in a separate protocol, as part of the Computer System Validation
