Water produced for the pharmaceutical or cosmetic industry must comply with stringent regulations.

Regulatory texts:

  • European Directives on the quality of water intended for human consumption and national implementation decrees
  • Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP)
  • Current Good Manufacturing Practice (cGMP)
  • Pharmacopoeias (European – American – Japanese)
  • EMEA, PICS/S, Annex 15 (qualification and validation)

 

Recommendations:

Many texts have been published by organizations and associations: Pharmeuropa, ASPEC, SFSTP, A3P, EHEDG, FDA, 3A, ISPE, ICH, PDA, etc.

BPW, WFI and distribution loop

Pharmacopoeias define precise qualities of water and how they are obtained. The monographs selected are those for bulk purified water (BPW) and bulk water for injection (BWFI).

The technological choices of production and distribution must be made according to:

  • Feedwater quality
  • Qualitative requirements
  • Quantitative requirements
  • Investment cost
  • Cost of analytical controls
  • Maintenance cost
  • Cost of investigating non-compliance
