In the pharmaceutical industry, maintaining high standards for water quality is crucial for ensuring product safety, efficacy, and compliance with regulatory standards. Water is a fundamental ingredient in drug manufacturing, and its quality directly impacts the production process and the end products. This makes adherence to water service compliance a legal obligation and a critical aspect of operational integrity. THE LEGAL COMPLICATIONS OF POOR WATER QUALITY Compliance with water quality standards in the pharmaceutical industry is mandated by regulatory agencies such as the MHRA, several regulations that set strict criteria for the types of water used, including purified water, water for injection, and sterile water.
