Type of Posting: Notice of Intent to Revise
Posting Date: 24–Apr–2015
Targeted Official Date: 01–Aug–2016
Expert Committee: General Chapters—Packaging, Storage and Distribution
In accordance with section 7.05(c) of the 2010–2015 Rules and Procedures of the Council of Experts, this is to provide notice that USP and its Expert Committees, as applicable, intend to revise multiple monographs and General Chapters in response to the revision of General Chapter <659> Packaging and Storage Requirements. In the proposed revision to <659>, it is planned to revise a subsection title from “Sterile Solids Packaging” to “Packaging for Constitution” so as to accurately reflect the section intent.
General Chapter <659> will be published in Pharmacopeial Forum (PF) 41(3) [May–June 2015]. Comments will be accepted until July 31, 2015, the end of the comment period for PF 41(3).
The new references will be incorporated in the First Supplement to USP 39–NF 34 when the revision of <659> becomes official. In the meantime, interested parties are encouraged to send comments on this proposal. Should you have any questions or comments, please contact Desmond Hunt, Senior Scientific Liaison, General Chapters at (301) 816-8341 or [email protected].
USP has identified the following monographs and general chapters that reference General Chapter <659> and thus require some degree of revision to assure the appropriate General Chapter is referenced:
