OQ after moving LC's

[Kimico]

Good morning everybody,

I have a request/question: There is a plan to expand our laboratory and I suggested to consolidate/isolate all the instrumentation in one specific location. The question came up that if we do so, then we need to requalify (OQ) all the instrumentation. Would that thought be still valid even if the instrumentation is only moving no more than 30-50 feet away? Are there any guidelines/reccomendations that I can refer to in order to find my answers? The instruments involved are the following: GC-FID, GC-MS, LC-UV's, FTIR, UV-VIs. Thank you.

I'm in pharma R&D - at my company, we recalibrate or verify PQ of stuff like that if it gets relocated.

I work in a GLP environment, we would Redo our annual PQ on any relocated Instrument (performing this exercise covers virtually all instrument OQ).
