WATER SYSTEM QUALIFICATION IN PHARMA

“Water” forms the most important ingredient in the pharmaceutical manufacturing process and also finds a major use in cleaning of equipment before and after processing. However due to its tendency to give way to microbiological proliferation during storage and distribution, it becomes a “critical” ingredient as well. Thus emphasis is given on water system maintenance and further checks are required during storage, distribution and use. The Water System Qualification and SOP in Pharma provides a detailed view into the technical aspects, testing, validation and reporting pattern for “water”. It further reinforces the company’s commitment to maintain GMP. The plant is to provide the total amount of Purified water & Water for Injection for pharmaceutical use, i.e. so-called Purified water & Water for Injection quality as per WHO specifications which must quality pH, Calcium & Magnesium, Heavy metals, Chloride, Nitrate, Sulphate, TOC, Conductivity, Microbial counts, Bacterial Endotoxin Test etc. by means of new Generation Plant. The plant must comply with the requirements of the pharmacopoeia and the cGMP regulations as well as with WHO inspection regulations for plants producing Purified water & water for Injection. For the same the water system qualification and SOP in Pharma plays important role.
