USP 標準由一家國際性組織開發和修訂,該組織的 800 多名專業志愿者與 USP 一道按照嚴格的避免利益沖突的原則開展工作。自從 1820 年創立以來,USP 一直在幫助確保美國藥品的質量。沿襲這一傳統,USP 今天與許多國家的科學家、醫療保健從業者和監管機構協力保護全世界的公共健康。
The United States Pharmacopeial Convention (USP) is a scientific nonprofit organization that sets standards for the identity, strength, quality, and purity of medicines, food ingredients, and dietary supplements manufactured, distributed and consumed worldwide. USP’s drug standards are enforceable in the United States by the Food and Drug Administration, and these standards are developed and relied upon in more than 130 countries.
USP standards are developed and revised by more than 800 volunteer experts, including international participants, who work with USP under strict conflict-of-interest rules. Since its founding in 1820, USP has helped secure the quality of the American drug supply. Building on that legacy, USP today works with scientists, practitioners, and regulators of many nations to help protect public health worldwide.
