URS and FDS for equipment

["Ger Russell" <gerrussell@hotmail.com> (by way of PDA Sci-Tech Forum<moderator@pda.org>)]

Hi all,
I would really appreciate some feedback on the following:
What is the approach pharmaceutical companies are taking with respect to 
URS and FDS for equipment on site?  Is a URS required for all pieces of 
equipment e.g from Filling Line to Incubator to HPLC?
In addition, when is an FDS required and in what format is it received from 
the suppliers? Is there a QA/Head of QC sign-off on it?

Thanking you in advance for your help,
Regards,

Ger Russell
