The following table summarises the sign-off coversheets for all monographs of excipients under the Pharmacopoeial Discussion Group (PDG) work plan. These coversheets provide detailed helpful information about harmonised parts and local requirements for all individual texts having undergone harmonisation by the PDG. Information is updated after each PDG meeting.
