USP's close collaboration with industry and regulators, along with public commenting, helps us prioritize the revision and development of new standards that can help protect the quality of medicines, foods, and dietary supplements.
In the area of medicines, the information, and materials that you contribute to the USP Donations Program will help set the standard for articles manufactured and marketed globally.
Your contribution of methods, related information, and/or materials will help us continue to address evolving industry and public health needs. We are currently accepting contributions for Small Molecules, Peptides, Excipients, Food Ingredients, and Dietary Supplement Ingredients.
We continuously revise USP Standards to stay current with industry changes.
Ways in which you may help include:
Submitting your current methods and related information
Providing the names of impurities and FDA-approved acceptance criteria to be incorporated into the revision developed by USP’s internal labs.
Providing reference material samples for USP’s Standards development.
Active proposals can be reviewed within the Pharmacopeial Forum.
Requests for revised standards can be found within our USP Prioritization List below.
We are seeking methods and related information to assist USP with developing quality standards that are not currently part of the official USP–NF, Food Chemicals Codex (FCC), or Dietary Supplements Compendium (DSC); please see the prioritization lists below.
