Company Introduction:

The United States Pharmacopeia (USP) is a globally recognized, independent, scientific, non-profit organization with a mission to improve global health through public standards and related programs. Established over 200 years ago, USP develops and disseminates public standards for the identity, strength, quality, and purity of medicines, food ingredients, and dietary supplements. These standards are crucial for manufacturers, regulatory agencies, and practitioners worldwide to ensure the quality, safety, and benefit of health products.

USP's presence in Singapore is through a regional office, which serves as a hub for its scientific and regulatory activities in the Asia-Pacific region. This office engages in scientific collaboration, provides technical assistance, and promotes the adoption of USP standards and best practices among pharmaceutical companies, regulatory bodies, and academic institutions. Its primary focus is on advancing pharmaceutical quality and public health through scientific expertise and standard-setting, rather than manufacturing or trading commercial products.

The United States Pharmacopeia (USP) in Singapore does not manufacture or sell pharmaceutical drugs or medical devices in the traditional commercial sense. As a global scientific standards-setting organization, its primary offerings, which serve as its 'products' or 'services' for the pharmaceutical and related industries, include USP Reference Standards (physical chemical substances used for quality control testing), Documentary Standards (such as the USP-NF compendium providing public standards for drug quality), Verification Programs for dietary supplements, pharmaceutical ingredients, and excipients, training and educational programs for industry professionals, and scientific and regulatory affairs support to advance public health through quality standards.
