German term or phrase: Wfl. Anglage
I can't see how this could possibly refer to residential living space. Could there be another meaning?

Geplante Änderungen:
* Inbetriebnahme neuer **Wfl Anlage** Ende 2014 / Anfang 2015 in Betriebsstätte 2
* Quality control reorganization, etc., etc.

Thanks!

neutral  philgoddard: I agree that this is a strong possibility.Though of course if it is 'I', it could also stand for inhalation or irrigation.

neutral  Jacek Konopka: Inbetriebnahme von water for injection system, hier?
2 hrs
  -> Ich verstehe den Kommentar nicht - was spricht denn dagegen? Die Bedeutung wäre in diesem Fall "Inbetriebnahme einer Anlage zur Herstellung von Wasser für Injektionszwecke" - und hier geht es ja um die pharmazeutische Industrie.

agree  uyuni: Seems likely...
3 hrs

agree  rainerc (X): google 'CIP', 'WCB' and 'fermentation' and 'water for injection' crops up. e.g. http://www.lgl.bayern.de/publikationen/doc/aide_memoire_bio_...

disagree  Steffen Walter: Eine "Wohnflächen-Anlage" (was immer das sein soll) in der Pharmaindustrie? Wohl eher nicht. / Die zweite Quelle ist für den hier maßgeblichen Kontext (siehe auch weitere Angaben der Fragestellerin im Diskussionsbereich) völlig irrelevant.
