USP <1207> Integrity Testing of Industrial Product Packaging: Eurolabs Laboratory Testing Service

The United States Pharmacopeia (USP) <1207> is a comprehensive standard that outlines the requirements for testing the integrity of packaging materials used in the pharmaceutical industry. The standard emphasizes the importance of ensuring the packaging materials ability to maintain its shape and structure during transportation, storage, and use.

Relevant Standards

  • ISO 11607-1:2019 (Packaging for terminally sterilized medical devices - Part 1: Packaging requirements)

  • ASTM F2097-14 (Standard Specification for Non-Sterile Barrier Packaging Systems)

  • EN 868-4:2009A1:2016 (Sterilization indicator systems for use in the indication of the sterilization status of medical devices)

  • TSE ISO 11607-1:2019 (Packaging for terminally sterilized medical devices - Part 1: Packaging requirements)

    • These standards are recognized globally and provide a framework for ensuring packaging integrity. Manufacturers must comply with these regulations to ensure their products meet quality, safety, and regulatory requirements.

    Standard Development Organizations

    The International Organization for Standardization (ISO), the American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM), and the European Committee for Standardization (CEN) are among the prominent standard development organizations. These organizations collaborate with industry stakeholders to develop standards that address specific needs and concerns.

    Evolution of Standards

    Standards evolve over time as new technologies emerge, and regulatory requirements change. Manufacturers must stay up-to-date with revisions to maintain compliance. For example, the ISO 11607-1 standard has undergone several revisions since its initial publication in 2006.
