Title: Protocol for Performance Qualification of Purified Water Generation, Storage and Distribution
System Protocol No.: xxxxxxxxxxxxx
Effective Date:
5.5 Evaluation of Results
Phase - 1 Result
After completion of Phase-I, Alert and Action limits of testing parameters for purified water will be calculated as per given equation and these alert and action limits will be followed for further
qualification of water system.
Alert levels are levels or range that, when exceeded; indicate that a process may have drifted from its normal operating condition.
Alert levels constitute a warning and do not necessarily require a corrective action. “Alert Level
= Average
+ 2 X Standard Deviation”
Action levels are levels or range that, when exceeded, indicate that a process has drifted from its normal operating range. Exceeding an Action level indicates that corrective action should be
taken to bring the process back into its normal operating range.
“Action Level =
Average +
3 X Standard Deviation” Based on the Study of Drain time, conclusion will be drawn for the period of drainage of
Purified Water before usage during process. Based on Hold Time study, conclusion will be drawn for Purified Water storage period in
case it is required.
Phase – 2 Results
After successful completion of Phase – 2, frequency of regeneration, sanitization operation shall be finalized. The frequency obtained during Phase – 2 studies shall be followed in Phase – 3.
Phase – 3 Results
After successful completion of Phase – 3, data obtained during the process shall be compiled and conclusion shall be drawn considering the Seasonal variation factor. Thereafter Purified Water
Generation Storage and Distribution System shall be released for regular usage.

Effective Date:
6.0 Performance Qualification Procedure
The following procedure shall be used for performance qualification of purified water generation, storage and distribution system:
6.1 Ensure that water system has qualified for operational qualification. 6.2 Sanitization shall be performed as per respective SOP. The observation of the study shall be
recorded as per the format provided in Exhibit-01. The data sheets shall be attached date wise in Annexure-01.
6.3 The phase-1 studies shall be done as per point no.5.5. The observations of the study shall be recorded as per the format provided in Exhibit-02 to Exhibit-08. The data sheets shall be
attached date wise in Annexure-02. After completion of phase-I studies the graphical representation of the data of all the parameters shall be done individually and attached in
Annexure-03.
6.4 The phase-2 studies shall be done as per point no.5.6. The observations of the study shall be recorded as per the format provided in Exhibit-02 to Exhibit-06. The data sheets shall be
attached date wise in Annexure-04. After completion of phase-2 studies the graphical representation of the data of all the parameters shall be done individually and attached in
Annexure-05.
6.5 The phase-3 studies shall be done as per point no.5.7. The observations of the study shall be recorded as per the format provided in Exhibit-02 to Exhibit-06. The data sheets shall be
attached date wise in Annexure-06. After completion of phase-1 studies the graphical representation of the data of all the parameters shall be done individually and attached in
Annexure-07.
6.6 Any deviation observed in performance qualification shall be recorded as observed deviation, corrective action and justification report.
6.7 Observed deviation shall be reported to the Quality control - Head and Quality Assurance – Head.
6.8 If the observed deviation does not have any major impact on the qualification the final conclusion shall be provided.
6.9 If the observed deviation has major impact on the qualification, deviation shall be reported to the manufacturer for the corrective action and qualification activity shall be redone.
