EFIG launches excipients project

The European Fine Chemicals Group (EFCG) and IPEC Europe have formed a European Pharmaceutical Excipients Certification Project to develop advocacy and stakeholder management in Europe for manufacturers and distributors of pharmaceutical excipients. EFCG also welcomed recent announcements and actions taken by the regulatory authorities on both sides of the Atlantic and in Japan to stem the flow of sub-standard and counterfeit APIs and medicines in the wake of the heparin disaster earlier this year. Finally, EFCG set out its implementation plan for a worldwide "Voluntary Guidelines for ISO-regulated Fine Chemical Manufacturers", which is a proposed set of minimum requirements for global manufacturers of non-pharma fine chemical intermediates and active ingredients.
