Safeguarding the quality of medication is fundamental to protecting the public's health, especially as ingredients and products come from all over the world. Biologics — such as recombinant therapeutic proteins, vaccines, blood components, tissues and gene therapies — are growing faster than any other segment of medicine. Just as they do for chemical medicines, manufacturers must ensure the purity and quality of the biologics that make their way to patients. USP quality standards serve as the foundation for a robust safety network that assists manufacturers by increasing predictability and reliability, and preserving the integrity of the global supply chain.

Our commitment to quality begins with our process
Our goal is to create broadly applicable standards that benefit both the industry and public health. Every decision we make—including the decision to move ahead with a proposed standard—is made with that intent in mind.
Standards development process
We are committed to ensuring that our approach evolves with the science of biologics and the needs of stakeholders, including patients, practitioners, industry and regulators.
