Overview

2023 saw the long-awaited adoption of the new general USP chapters <665> and <1665> to address the risk of extractables and leachables (E&L) in plastic components and systems used in the manufacture of pharmaceutical products.  

USP <665> is mandatory and comes into full effect on May 1, 2026. Although the time left is short, there is still enough time to implement the USP’s regulatory measures.

The use of USPs <1665> and <665> is expertly explained using a case application example, so a real-life scenario is presented. You will also have the opportunity to network with SGS experts to answer your questions on the topic.
