Packaging Material Testing

  • The safety and effectiveness of any pharmaceutical product is inextricably dependent upon its packaging. Containers and container closures must not interact physically or chemically with the substance in any way that would alter its quality.
  • All medicinal products need to be protected and consequently packaged in containers that conform to prescribed standards. Failure to meet the compendial requirements will compromise the integrity of the drug product.
