Elemental Impurities FAQs
This FAQs section details frequently asked questions about the Elemental Impurities database.
Why is the data blinded for suppliers?
The data in the database are intended to provide the user with an indication of elemental impurity levels to be generally expected in a given excipient and the level of variation that may be seen between suppliers and batches. The data have been blinded to allow these questions to be addressed whilst specifically excluding the use of the database to select between named excipient suppliers. Such an approach could be considered to be anti-competitive. The purpose of the database is to address questions of scientific not business interest.
