This building consensus was largely initiated by industry consortia, such as the International Pharmaceutical Aerosol Consortium for Regulation and Science, and other industry organizations, such as the Parenteral Drug Association. However, since such organizations have no standard setting or regulatory authority, the United States Pharmacopeia (USP) has developed two informational general chapters which capture these best practices:

• USP <1663>, which provides guidance on extractables studies.
• USP <1664>, which provides guidance on leachables studies.

  In this 45-minute webinar, Smithers experts Dr. Daniel Norwood and Dr. Andrew Feilden will provide an overview of both general chapters as well as an overview of the USP process. There will a Q&A period at the end of the presentation. 

   

  This webinar is the first in a 3-part series. The mission of the United States Pharmacopeia (USP) is to improve global health through public standards that ensure the quality and safety of medicines. To improve quality standards, USP has developed a series of general chapters to communicate recommendations and expectations surrounding product quality. Join Smithers  experts Dr. Daniel Norwood and Dr. Andrew Feilden for a three-part webinar series providing an overview on selected USP general chapters:
