UNITED STATES PHARMACOPEIAL

Company Introduction:

The United States Pharmacopeial Convention (USP) is a global, independent, scientific, non-profit organization that sets public standards for the identity, strength, quality, and purity of medicines, food ingredients, and dietary supplements. These standards are used worldwide to help ensure the quality of medicines and other products. USP's work involves developing and revising monographs and general chapters published in the United States Pharmacopeia–National Formulary (USP–NF), as well as providing physical reference standards and offering related scientific services, education, and training to support manufacturers, regulators, and practitioners.

USP in India:

USP has a significant presence in India, primarily through USP–India Private Limited. This entity operates a state-of-the-art laboratory facility in Hyderabad. The India operations focus on developing new reference standards, conducting analytical testing, providing scientific support for the development and revision of USP standards, and offering training programs to support quality assurance in the pharmaceutical and food industries in the region. Its activities contribute to global public health by ensuring the quality of products.

Factory or Trader:

USP is neither a factory (manufacturing commercial pharmaceutical products) nor a trader (buying and selling commercial goods). It is a scientific standards-setting organization. Its facilities in India are primarily laboratories dedicated to research, development, and testing for the creation and validation of pharmaceutical reference standards and analytical methods, as well as providing scientific support and training.

The U.S. Pharmacopeia (USP) in India primarily provides and sells the following products and services, as USP is a scientific non-profit organization that sets standards for quality, not a manufacturer of finished drug products:

USP Reference Standards

USP-NF (United States Pharmacopeia–National Formulary) Publications

Food Chemicals Codex (FCC) Publications

Pharmacopeial Education Programs and Workshops

USP Verification Services (e.g., for dietary supplements and pharmaceutical ingredients)

Additional USP publications and resources related to quality standards for medicines, food ingredients, and dietary supplements.
