A GUIDE TO VALIDATING
A PURIFIED WATER
OR WATER FOR
INJECTION SYSTEM
Validating a pharmaceutical water system is a
detailed process that documents and confirms
the proper installation, operation, and performance of the system. Validation starts in the conceptual stage and requires interface with the
overall project and facility validation efforts. It is

STEP #4 - INSTALLATION QUALIFICATION
IQ ensures that all components and material comply with specifications and are properly installed.
During IQ, the following should be executed:
Review, approval, and filing of shop drawings from vendor.
Verification and filing of a mill specification
certificate for all stainless steel piping, valves,
transmitters, and equipment.
Detailed site verification of each component
to certify correct installation.
Boroscoping of all stainless steel welds,
along with weld identification, documentation, and
test reports.
Passivation procedures and certificates upon
completion.
Operator manuals.
Collection and filing of all vendor purchase
orders.
Recommendation of a spare parts list.
A certified water analysis for EPA approved
primary drinking water.
STEP #5 - OPERATIONAL QUALIFICATION
OQ ensures that the system, as a whole, is functioning with respect to the mechanical, electrical,
instrumentation, and controls portions of the system. During OQ, the following should be executed:
Cycle verification of all backwashable filters
and softeners.
Pump alignment and rotation.
RO system pressure and flow verification.
Complete point-by-point verification of
process control system and alarms with test reports.
NIST traceable calibration and certificates for
all instruments, transmitters, gauges, and thermometers.
Overall system start-up report from the
vendor.
