What do some foreign language abbreviations in engineering mean?
Thread Content
Dear experts, could you please help me? I’m working on a PM project these days and I need some clarification on certain abbreviations. DQ IQ OQ PQ Fainting Thank you!
Design Qualification (DQ), Installation Qualification (IQ), Operational Qualification (OQ) and Performance Qualification (PQ). Q stands for qualification.
Thank you! I couldn’t find it on Baidu. You’re so fast!
I haven’t been on this forum for long, but I’ve noticed that many people don’t know how to make use of this amazing tool that is the Internet to solve translation problems (sometimes they refuse to do so in an attempt to pursue speed at all costs). As the saying goes, “There are no perfect translators, and translation knows no bounds.” It is perfectly acceptable to draw on others’ expressions in translation; the key to translation is to build a bridge for linguistic communication, and achieving mutual understanding serves as the goal. If you’re interested, I can share some of my experience for your reference. I have posted an article in my journal on how to make use of search effectively.

“Baidu is a website from China; it’s great for finding information in Chinese. Google is a website based in the United States, so it’s better to use that term for translation. This post was last edited by echommm on 2008-3-5 16:33]
I can’t believe you said that; I really thought it was some clever trick!
What I said on the 5th floor was merely in response to the reply on the 3rd floor; perhaps I didn’t make myself clear enough. If necessary, I can post some articles I’ve collected on making good use of online tools for translation in appropriate places for everyone to learn from. With such an attitude, I don’t have much enthusiasm or desire to put in extra effort to seek experience. This post was last edited by echommm on 2008-3-5 16:32.]
First of all, thank you for your answer. But please don’t take offense to what that colleague said. In fact, it’s best if everyone shares their experience! :handshake There are really many abbreviations that are confusing; some of them are just their own rules and not international standards. Ultimately, I hope we can all work together
I agree with what was said on floor 8; having so many enthusiastic people on this forum is a blessing for us beginners who are just getting started. I hope to get your help so that we can all grow together :) I’m very grateful for the help ECHO has given me. Haha
Generally speaking, when an unconventional abbreviation is used for the first time, it is followed by the full spelling of the term – this is based on experience :) Common abbreviations, on the other hand, don’t require this
Moonsmoke, could you post some more complete sentences? I’m not quite sure about the meaning of this sentence. Hmh512, I also want to say a few words to you: as a newcomer, you need to control your emotions. Everyone comes to this forum to solve problems and to prevent any impolite behavior.
The issue on floor 11 might refer to an error in the formatting on floor 3; I have edited it again.
These are some Discuz codes used for formatting posts, such as font and color, etc
The original poster has 5 years of experience in pharmaceutical engineering design; it would be strange if they had never heard of DQ, IQ, OQ, and PQ. Anyone with experience in pharmaceutical factories definitely knows these terms. This post was last edited by *eyang on 2008-3-9 21:28.]
Haha, I used to work in a small state-owned enterprise; I get nervous when faced with foreign languages, and my memory isn’t very good either. Even if I’ve seen it, I’ve forgotten it. . . . .
