Performing the Performance Qualification.
Perform the Operational Qualification as per the check list which contains points defined in the installation requirement that the Double Door Autoclave, is supposed to fulfill. In addition, list out control points installed and check the temperature and pressure conditions achieved after the Double Door Autoclave has been started after shut down. Note down all the observations in the Operational Qualification Report. The Double Door Autoclave shall be handed over to Quality Control only after successful completion of Operational Qualification. 
Record all observations and deviations in the report. In case of deviation prepare a deviation report with justification and get it approved by Head Quality assurance, Head Quality Control.
