INTRODUCTION
EMEA NOTE FOR GUIDANCE ON QUALITY OF WATER FOR PHARMACEUTICAL USE Water i W t is one of the major commodities used b th pharmaceutical f th j diti d by the h ti l industry. It may be present as an excipient, or used for reconstitution of products, during synthesis, during production of the finished product or as cleaning agent f rinsing vessels, equipment, primary packaging l i t for i i l i t i k i materials etc. Different grades of water quality are required depending on the different pharmaceutical uses. C t l of the quality of water, i diff t h ti l Control f th lit f t in particular, the microbiological quality, is a major concern and the pharmaceutical industry devotes considerable resource to the development and maintenance of water purification systems systems.
COMPENDIAL WATER IS USED FOR THE PREPARATION OF MEDICINAL PRODUCTS, AND ITS QUALITY ATTRIBUTES ARE REGULATED BY THE PHARMACOPOEIA (WATER MONOGRAPHS) SUITABLE NON-COMPENDIAL WATER IS USED IN ALL THE OTHER NONPOSSIBLE APPLICATIONS IN THE PHARMACEUTICAL INDUSTRY. ITS QUALITY ATTRIBUTES CAN BE EVEN MORE STRINGENT THAN COMPENDIAL WATER WATER.

Notes: 1) By test p ) y procedure definition, some analytical , y methods require USP Compendial waters. Quality should meet the needs of the analytical methods. 2) Labs performing both cGMP and Non-cGMP operations should follow the cGMP path. 3) Non-compendial water may be more highly purified than compendial water. Endotoxin and microbial quality is based on the process and quality standards of the product. Non-compendial water must at a minimum meet EPA (or comparable EU or J t ( bl Japanese standard) t d d) drinking water requirements for microbiological quality. 4) Quality of final rinse water is determined by the type of product and subsequenti processing steps. Where product contact surface is subsequentially sanitized, final rinse with Suitable Non-Compendial water may be acceptable. Such practice may necessitate more stringent qualification criteria for the subsequent sanitization steps steps. 5) Where production is purified downstream.

Water used in the manufacture of APIs should be demonstrated to be suitable for its intended use. Unless otherwise justified process water should at minimum meet World justified, should, minimum, Health Organization (WHO) guidelines for drinking (potable) water quality. If drinking (potable) water is insufficient to assure API quality, and tighter chemical and/or microbiological water quality specifications are called for, appropriate specifications for physical/chemical attributes, total microbial counts, objectionable organisms and/or endotoxins should be established. Where water used in the process is treated by the manufacturer to achieve a defined quality, the treatment process should be validated and monitored with appropriate action limits. Where the manufacturer of a non-sterile API either intends or claims that it is suitable for use in further processing to produce a sterile drug (medicinal) it bl f i f th i t d t il d ( di i l) product, water used in the final isolation and purification steps should be monitored and controlled for total microbial counts, objectionable organisms, and endotoxins.

Production: Current production methods include, for example, double-pass reverse osmosis coupled with other suitable techniques such as ultrafiltration and deionization. Highly Purified Water meets the same quality standards as g y q y WFI but the production methods are considered less reliable than distillation and thus it is considered unacceptable for use as WFI.
