You would like to carry out a USP 665 testing of the plastic materials used in your pharmaceutical products
What is USP 665?
The United States Pharmacopeia (USP) has introduced USP 665 as a draft standard for the qualification of plastic systems and materials used in the manufacture of pharmaceutical and biopharmaceutical products. Its aim is to guarantee the safety and efficacy of medicines through the proper qualification of materials in contact with them.
What is the purpose of USP 665?
USP 665 aims to provide guidelines for the characterization of plastic materials and systems used in the production, processing and packaging of pharmaceutical products.
In particular, it deals with the assessment of risks associated with potential interactions between plastic materials and pharmaceutical products. Such as the release of extractable and/or leachable substances that could affect product quality or patient safety.
What are the key points raised by USP 665?
In order to guarantee the safety of polymeric materials used in the pharmaceutical industry, USP 665 is developing 2 main axes:
- In-depth assessment of material safety to prevent contamination of drugs by harmful substances through leaching tests.
- Physico-chemical tests to verify the properties of materials, ensuring their suitability for the intended pharmaceutical use.
