Procedure
Stage 1
Stage 1 is intended for online measurement or may be performed offline in a suitable container.
1. Determine the temperature of the water and the conductivity of the water using a nontemperature-compensated conductivity reading.
2. Using the Stage 1—Temperature and Conductivity Requirements table, find the temperature value that is not greater than the measured temperature, i.e., the next lower temperature. The corresponding conductivity value on this table is the limit. [Note—Do not interpolate. ]
3. If the measured conductivity is not greater than the table value, the water meets the requirements of the test for conductivity. If the conductivity is higher than the table value, proceed with Stage 2.

4. Transfer a sufficient amount of water (100 mL or more) to a suitable container, and stir the test specimen. Adjust the temperature, if necessary, and, while maintaining it at 25 ± 1, begin vigorously agitating the test specimen while periodically observing the conductivity. When the change in conductivity (due to uptake of atmospheric carbon dioxide) is less than a net of 0.1 μS/cm per 5 minutes, note the conductivity.
5. If the conductivity is not greater than 2.1 μS/cm, the water meets the requirements of the test for conductivity. If the conductivity is greater than 2.1 μS/cm, proceed with Stage 3.
Stage 3
6. Perform this test within approximately 5 minutes of the conductivity determination in Step 5, while maintaining the sample temperature at 25 ± 1. Add a saturated potassium chloride solution to the same water sample (0.3 mL per 100 mL of the test specimen), and determine the pH to the nearest 0.1 pH unit, as directed under pH 791.Stage 3 6. Perform this test within approximately 5 minutes of the conductivity determination in Step 5, while maintaining the sample temperature at 25 ± 1 . Add a saturated potassium chloride solution to the same water sample (0.3 mL per 100 mL of the test specimen), and determine the pH to the nearest 0.1 pH unit, as directed under pH 791.
7. Referring to the Stage 3—pH and Conductivity Requirements table, determine the conductivity limit at the measured pH value. If the measured conductivity in Step 4 is not greater than the conductivity requirements for the pH determined in Step 6, the water meets the requirements of the test for conductivity. If either the measured conductivity is greater than this value or the pH is outside the range of 5.0 to 7.0, the water does not meet the requirements of the test for conductivity.

STERILE WATER The procedure and test limits are intended for Sterile Purified Water, Sterile Water for Injection, Sterile Water for Inhalation, and Sterile Water for Irrigation, and any other monographs which specify this section. The sterile waters are derived from Purified Water or Water for Injection, and therefore have been determined to be compliant with the Bulk Water requirements before being stored in the container. The specification provided represents the maximum allowable conductivity value, taking into consideration the limitation of the measurement method and reasonable container leaching. Such specification and the sampling volume choices should be defined and validated on the basis of the intended purpose of the water.
Procedure Transfer a sufficient amount of water to a suitable container, and stir the test specimen. Adjust the temperature, if necessary, and, while maintaining it at 25 ± 1 , begin vigorously agitating the test specimen while periodically observing the conductivity. When the change in conductivity (due to uptake of ambient carbon dioxide) is less than a net of 0.1 μS/cm per 5 minutes, note the conductivity.
For containers with a nominal volume of 10 mL or less, if the conductivity is not greater than 25 μS/cm, the water meets the requirements. For containers with a nominal volume greater than 10 mL, if the conductivity is not greater than 5 μS/cm, the water meets the requirements.
