About European Pharmacopoeia (EP) Purified Water

Also known as European Pharmacopoeia purified water, EP water has a number of synonyms, including:
  • EP purified water
  • Pharmaceutical water
  • EP pharmaceutical water
  • Pharmaceutical purified water
  • pH.eur water
  • Water EP
  • EP H2O
European Pharmacopoeia purified water is a grade of water that has been produced to meet the requirements of the European Pharmacopoeia (EP), an internationally-recognised standard whose specification guarantees a certain level of quality.  EP purified water is one of a number of Pharmacopoeia waters, including USP water (United States Pharmacopoeia), BP water (British Pharmacopoeia), and JP water (Japanese Pharmacopoeia).

EP Purified Water Specifications

Each grade of water will differ slightly, but all waters produced to EP purified water specifications are very low in impurities, such as heavy metals, nitrates, chlorides, and sulphates, and will meet certain conductivity and pH specifications.The EP purified water specifications means that EP water has a conductivity of less than 5.1 microsiemens, nitrates of less than 0.2 ppm, heavy metals of less than 0.1 ppm, TVC of less than 100, chlorides of less than 70 ppm, sulphates of less than 250 ppm, pH between 5-8, residue on evaporation of less than 100 ppm, and it passes the oxidisable substances test.EP grade purified water is recognised worldwide and has many applications including product testing, analytical work and manufacturing.  Many companies specify the use of European Pharmacopoeia purified water in their processes to ensure that a specific level of quality is adhered to, particularly where unwanted trace elements or minerals could affect the outcome.

How ReAgent Manufactures EP Purified Water

When we manufacture EP grade purified water, we use deionised water as a feedstock in a twin pass reverse osmosis (RO) system.RO is a type of ultrafiltration, and once the water is in this system, it’s continuously moving through the ring main and the storage tank. This means that it’s always passing through the RO and then an ultraviolet (UV) sterilisation stage. The water is then bottled, typically in 25L containers and 1,000L IBCs, or used in process. We also carry out weekly testing to ensure compliance with the current USP and EP purified water specifications.

What Is The Shelf-life For EP Water?

We investigated options available to extend the shelf life for the different grades of the EP purified water that we produce. The shelf life for this type of water is currently 120 days.We now use a specialised treatment during the filling process. This has two benefits:
  1. The water is sterilised
  2. The packaging is also sterilised
Once the package is sealed, its contents and packaging are free from bacterial contamination.To ensure this process is failsafe, we sent a series of samples away for laboratory testing for microbial contamination (TVC). We have now tested samples up to four months old, and all samples have returned results below the USP WFI limit of 10 cfu/ 100ml.The current shelf life for both our EP and USP purified water is 120 days, and this will increase as we obtain more data.
