Utility Qualification

Validate your utilities for compliance, reliability, and efficiency

At Labmark, we offer utility qualification services tailored to your specific industry and regulatory requirements. Partner with Labmark to ensure your utilities are validated to the highest standards, guaranteeing reliability, efficiency, and safety in your operations.

What is utility qualification?

Utility qualification is the process of validating and ensuring that utility systems, such as water, steam, air, and gas, used in pharmaceutical manufacturing meet the required standards for safety, reliability, and performance. These systems are critical to the production of pharmaceutical products and must operate within defined parameters to maintain product quality, safety, and regulatory compliance.

In the pharmaceutical industry, utilities are often considered part of Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP) compliance and must be carefully qualified to ensure that they do not adversely affect product quality or contaminate products. Key Utility Systems that require qualification:

Water Systems: Purified Water (PW), Water for Injection (WFI), and other grades of water.
Air and Gas Systems: Compressed air, nitrogen, oxygen, and other gases.
HVAC Systems: Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning systems.
Steam Systems: Clean steam and other types of steam.
