Evolution of USP<1058> updates and insights in regulations

The United States Pharmacopeia (USP) is the only major pharmacopeia with a general chapter dedicated to analytical instrument qualification (USP <1058>). This makes <1058> a globally significant regulatory reference. However, despite the significant changes with the 2017 edition of <1058>, 68% of laboratories have not updated their qualification procedures. Additionally, the USP has already started the process to initiate updates to <1058>, when many laboratories may not fully comply with the current edition!

This raises many questions about the role of the current <1058> general chapter and how it aligns with the recently issued 2nd Edition of GAMP® 5.

By attending this webinar you will learn about:

• How USP <1058> aligns with GAMP® 5
• Core elements of the <1058> instrument life-cycle framework
• Areas of <1058> the USP are exploring improvements in
