Various business sectors use water for specific purposes. Pharma companies use water extensively during different stages of production. If manufacturing companies use water that is not of good quality, it affects the final product adversely. Therefore, the importance of water monitoring in the pharma industries is high.  The pharma companies have to meet the compliance requirement for water monitoring process as per 21 CFR Part 11 laid by US FDA and Annexure 11 laid by EU.

Uses of Water in the Pharma Sector

The manufacturing sector uses water as raw material, as an ingredient, and sometimes as a final product. Water is also used as a cleanser for rinsing equipment or the preparation of disinfectants and detergents. When water plays such an important role in the production and other processes, pharmaceutical industries must regularly check the quality of water. It should always be of superior quality. Therefore, water monitoring becomes an unavoidable task.

What is Water Monitoring and Why is it Important?

Water that is used in production or manufacturing units of the pharma companies passes through many stringent tests as per the guidelines laid by Current Good Manufacturing Practices (cGMP). The reason for such scrutiny is that the quality of water affects the final product as well. Therefore, water monitoring in pharma industries is essential. Water monitoring process is similar to sample management. Quality Analysts (QA) test water quality regularly using different machines and materials. This process helps to analyze water stability or issues at regular intervals of time.
