USP <2040> Limits of Chemical Residues in Pharmaceuticals: Laboratory Testing Services by Eurolab

The US Pharmacopeia (USP) is a non-profit organization that sets standards for the identity, strength, quality, and purity of pharmaceuticals. The USP <2040> standard governs the limits of chemical residues in pharmaceuticals, ensuring that these products are safe for human consumption. This standard applies to all pharmaceutical manufacturers, wholesalers, and distributors.

Legal and Regulatory Framework

The legal and regulatory framework surrounding USP <2040> is comprehensive and far-reaching. The US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) enforces the USP standards, while other countries have their own regulations based on international standards such as ISO 17025:2017. Non-compliance with these standards can result in severe penalties, including product recalls, fines, and even imprisonment.
