What "Compendial" Means

USP-NF methods are legally recognized standards for pharmaceutical testing.

A compendial method is published in an official pharmacopeia recognized by law. In the United States, the official compendia are the United States Pharmacopeia (USP) and the National Formulary (NF), both recognized under the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic (FD&C) Act.

Monographs define tests, procedures, and acceptance criteria for specific drug substances, excipients, and dosage forms. General chapters (numbered <1-999> for mandatory and <1000+> for informational) describe analytical techniques, apparatus, and system suitability requirements referenced by monographs.

When we perform compendial testing, we follow exact procedures and acceptance criteria published in the current USP-NF, ensuring results are legally defensible and regulatory compliant.

cGMP Documentation & Data Integrity

Compliance-first documentation and review workflows.

Controlled Data (21 CFR Part 11)

Electronic records and signatures comply with 21 CFR Part 11 requirements. Audit trails are maintained for all analytical data, ensuring ALCOA principles.

Second-Person Review

All analytical results undergo independent second-person review before release. Calculations, integrations, and system suitability are verified by a qualified reviewer.

Audit Support

We support audits with complete documentation packages, SOPs, training records, and equipment qualification files available for review.
