Critical Utilities (Crit Util) like water and HVAC (Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning) systems form the backbone of the manufacturing process. As a result, these are treated, as products that must satisfy FDA regulatory requirements and pharmaceutical manufacturing standards, just like raw materials and other equipment used in the industry.
