utility piping.
Plan non-product-contact cooling and building utilities with clear engineering, quality and equipment interfaces.
Application guide · design inputs
Application analysis
Keep general utilities separate from validated process services.
Classify each proposed service with the site’s engineering and quality teams. Record product-contact status, utility criticality and the boundary to validated process systems in the user-requirement specification.
For non-product-contact utilities, coordinate equipment connections, isolation and distribution routes. Record fluid and cleaning conditions, materials, seals, traceability and inspection/testing requirements. Include installation and handover responsibilities within the site’s change-control process.
Building HVAC utilities
Prepare traceable equipment interfaces for facilities services.
Equipment support packages
Agree the utility/process demarcation with engineering and QA.

Engineering review
The inputs that change the design.
| Design input | What it changes | Evidence to request |
|---|---|---|
| Criticality | Classify the service and any product-quality impact. | Engineering/QA-approved utility and process boundaries. |
| Water/service grade | Separate ordinary utilities from validated process services. | Site user-requirement specification and acceptance criteria. |
| Materials & seals | Review the exact fluid and cleaning environment. | Part-specific compatibility and documentation needs. |
| Change control | Align installation and handover with the site process. | Inspection, testing and change-control responsibilities. |

Questions worth resolving
Before the specification is fixed.
Which services are addressed here?
Defined non-product-contact building utilities and secondary cooling circuits with documented site requirements.
Who defines utility criticality and contact status?
The site’s engineering, process and quality teams record the classification and acceptance requirements in the project specification.
Which handover records belong in the brief?
List the required material/component records, inspection and test documents, change-control records and site qualification interfaces.
