Training on the ICH Q3D standard at FILAB laboratory ...

Have you just hired new talent in your laboratory? Are the qualified person or persons no longer part of your teams? Would you like to deepen your expertise in the ICH Q3D standard?

As an approved training organization, FILAB supports your teams with training on the ICH Q3D standard.

At FILAB, we develop and offer our clients only tailor-made training courses, aligned with your industrial challenges or analytical requirements.

Why call on FILAB for any training in analytical chemistry or materials science?

 

The FILAB laboratory is QUALIOPI certified for its training activities.

Thanks to this certification, the training courses we provide may be eligible for funding requests from OPCOs.

Analytical training is essential for professionals seeking to master analysis and characterization techniques; indeed, it covers a wide range of techniques intended for the analysis and characterization of substances, materials, or products in various industrial sectors.

Our analytical training programs are designed to equip participants with the skills needed to excel in their field, combining rigorous theory with practical applications. Discover how our analytical training can transform your skill set within your company.

Several reasons are behind the growing number of training requests to FILAB:

Tailor-made technical training: most of the training courses offered by many training organizations are standard, not tailored to your needs, and do not address your technical challenges

Industrial expertise: FILAB has been providing training to its clients for over 10 years, regardless of the industrial sector

A unique profile with dual expertise in Chemistry and Materials

A human-sized organization, allowing us to provide greater responsiveness and flexibility

What is ICH Q3D?

The ICH (International Conference on Harmonisation) Q3D guideline establishes the methodology to be followed for assessing elemental impurities in pharmaceutical products, including medicinal products for human use.

Thus, the ICH Q3D classifies elemental impurities into 4 classes, as follows:

  1. Class 1: elements toxic to the body that should not be used in the manufacture of medicines. The elements are as follows: Arsenic, Cadmium, Mercury and Lead.
  2. Class 2: elements considered toxic to humans, with a distinction regarding the importance of the route of administration concerned. Class 2 is itself subdivided into two classes, 2A and 2B, according to the probability of the EI being present in the medicine.

    2A: There is a high probability that Class 2A impurities will be found in the medicine. Class 2A includes the following elements: Cobalt, Nickel and Vanadium.

    2B: The probability of being present in the finished product is lower than for those belonging to Class 2A. Their toxicity is also lower.
    The elemental impurities are as follows: Silver, Gold, Iridium, Osmium, Palladium, Platinum, Rhodium, Ruthenium, Selenium and Thallium.

  3. Class 3: elemental impurities with low oral toxicity. Nevertheless, toxicity through other routes of administration remains a matter of concern.
    The elemental impurities found in this category are as follows: Barium, Chromium, Copper, Lithium, Molybdenum, Antimony and Tin.
The ICH Q3D guideline has applied since June 2016 to new Marketing Authorisation Applications (MAAs), and since January 2018 to medicines already on the market.
