The IPEC Significant Change Guide for Pharmaceutical Excipients provides a consistent approach to evaluate the significance of changes with regard to the manufacture and the distribution of excipients.

The 2023 revision of the guide has retained much of the original content but has been updated to better align with the general guideline policies and format requirements of IPEC. These updates include harmonized terminology and general statements, the relocation of content to more relevant sections, and the incorporation of decision trees into the main body of the guide.

This webinar aims to provide a practical approach to the Significant Change guide. Different scenarios and practical examples will be presented and discussed to deepen the understanding of GMP-compliant requirements for excipient manufacturing and distribution. This involves considering both the requirements of the users and the constraints of the manufacturers.

The webinar is free of charge for IPEC Europe Members.
