Hear FDA, EDQM and USP on New Requirements for Glass Packaging

The United States Pharmacopeia (USP) just announced to cancel and redevelop their previously published draft proposals on the glass general chapters. New chapter proposals are scheduled to come in 2019.

Together with the industry, the pharmacopeias are currently working on new approaches for the inner surface hydrolytic test. Additionally, efforts are being made to develop a new description of the autoclave procedure for the glass grains and the surface tests to eliminate ongoing questions associated with the autoclave cycle and to establish a global standard.
