EP 1.2.1 Drug Substance Stability in Multisource Submissions: Eurolabs Laboratory Testing Service

The European Pharmacopoeia (Ph. Eur.) is a comprehensive collection of standards for the quality control of medicinal products, including drug substances and formulations. The Ph. Eur. is published by the European Directorate for the Quality of Medicines HealthCare (EDQM) and is used as a reference standard in Europe and other regions.

Relevant Standards:

1. European Pharmacopoeia (Ph. Eur.): The Ph. Eur. is a comprehensive collection of standards for the quality control of medicinal products, including drug substances and formulations.

2. International Organization for Standardization (ISO) 9001:2015: This standard specifies the requirements for a quality management system that an organization must implement to ensure it meets customer and regulatory requirements.

3. International Organization for Standardization (ISO) 17025:2005: This standard specifies the general requirements for the competence of testing and calibration laboratories.

Legal and Regulatory Framework:

The production, importation, and distribution of medicinal products in Europe are subject to EU regulations. The EUs pharmaceutical legislation is based on the following directives:

1. Directive 2001/83/EC: This directive sets out the principles for the authorization, manufacture, and distribution of medicinal products.

2. Commission Regulation (EU) No 536/2014: This regulation establishes a harmonized framework for the conduct of clinical trials.

International and National Standards:

The following international and national standards are relevant to EP 1.2.1 Drug Substance Stability in Multisource Submissions:

1. ISO 9001:2015: This standard specifies the requirements for a quality management system that an organization must implement to ensure it meets customer and regulatory requirements.

2. EN ISO 17025:2005: This standard specifies the general requirements for the competence of testing and calibration laboratories.

3. TSE (Turkish Standards Institution) standards: These standards specify the requirements for the production, importation, and distribution of medicinal products in Turkey.

Standard Development Organizations:

The following organizations are responsible for developing and maintaining standards related to EP 1.2.1:

1. European Directorate for the Quality of Medicines HealthCare (EDQM): The EDQM is responsible for publishing the European Pharmacopoeia.

2. International Organization for Standardization (ISO): ISO is a non-profit organization that develops and publishes international standards.

How Standards Evolve and Get Updated:

Standards are regularly reviewed and updated to reflect changes in technology, regulatory requirements, or best practices. The Ph. Eur. is revised every two years, with the most recent edition being Ph. Eur. 10.0.

Standard Compliance Requirements for Different Industries:

Compliance with standards is a requirement for industries that manufacture, import, or distribute medicinal products. Failure to comply can result in regulatory action, fines, and reputational damage.
