Water is a key ingredient used in many pharmaceutical and life sciences operations. Water is widely used as a raw material, ingredient, and solvent in the processing, formulation, and manufacture of pharmaceutical products, active pharmaceuticalingredients (APIs) and intermediates. Control of the quality of water throughout the production, storage and distribution processes, including microbiological and chemical quality, is a major concern. Water can be used in a variety of applications, some requiringextreme microbiological control and others requiring none. Pharmaceutical water production, storage and distribution systemsshould be designed, installed, commissioned, qualified and maintained to ensure the reliable production of water of an appropriatequality.
