This webinar was intended to provide an overview for use and value of the recently published IPEC GMP Certification Scheme and Certification Body Qualification Guide for Pharmaceutical Excipients.
Lack of a unified industry approach to certification body qualification has resulted in pharmaceutical companies independently developing their own procedure. The IPEC Guide was developed and designed to facilitate a consistent approach for excipient users to qualify an excipient-certification scheme owner (SO) and certification body (CB).
The webinar will covered the history and purpose for developing the IPEC guide, raise awareness of the need for a qualification process, and share examples for how the guide can be used by industry.
