Material entering a medicinal product has to meet the compendial standard of the market that product is sold into. That is the decision this sector makes first, and it is a decision about the grade rather than the compound.
USP governs medicines sold in the United States, EP across the member states of the Council of Europe, BP in the United Kingdom. Each sets its own identity, purity and impurity limits for the same substance, so a material that satisfies one does not automatically satisfy another. Specify the pharmacopoeia your finished product answers to, not the one nearest to hand.
A grade describes a standard; a Certificate of Analysis describes the material you actually receive. The CoA is issued against the batch supplied, and it is the document your quality function will hold — check that its assay and impurity results are against the same monograph you specified.
A safety data sheet and the export paperwork are issued with the shipment alongside the CoA. What your customs broker needs and what your QA needs are different sets, and both should be settled before despatch rather than chased afterwards.
The catalogue is on the TSS storefront and is searchable by name and CAS number.
Supplied to USP, BP and EP. Used in analgesic and stimulant formulations, and in beverage and nutraceutical manufacture.
These four turn an enquiry into something that can be quoted without a round trip.
