WHAT ARE SOME OF THE KEY PRACTICES THAT MUST BE FOLLOWED TO ASSURE THAT GLYCERIN WILL MEET USP AND FCC REQUIREMENTS?

Compliance with USP and FCC requirements means more than meeting the specifications given in the USP and FCC glycerin monographs as determined by analysis. It also means strict compliance with FDA regulations, most particularly with the procedures outlined in the current Good Manufacturing Practices to assure plant and equipment cleanliness and to avoid contamination during handling, distribution or packaging. Plants, warehouses and clean rooms, where repackaging is done, are subject to FDA inspection. Complete record keeping is obligatory to ensure that every shipment of product is traceable by lot number. A Certificate of Analysis also accompanies every shipment of USP and FCC glycerin.
