Compendial standards

Compendial standards refer to specific guidelines and requirements set by authoritative organizations, like the United States Pharmacopeia (USP) or the European Pharmacopoeia, for the quality, purity, strength, and consistency of medicines and their ingredients. These standards ensure that pharmaceutical products are safe and effective for consumers. Manufacturers must follow these standards during production and testing to ensure that their products meet the established criteria, enabling regulatory bodies to verify that medicines are reliable and trustworthy before they reach the market.
