Abstract
The study focuses on the comparison of quality requirements for process control( in-process and finished products)
quality tests of Indian Pharmacopeia (IP), British Pharmacopeia (BP) & United States Pharmacopeia (USP) for some
conventional dosage forms. Total quality control test is defined as the process to produce a quality product by a series
of measures, requiring an organized effort in order to eliminate errors at every stage in the production. A quality drug
must satisfy certain standards which involve drugs safety, potency, efficacy, stability, patient acceptability as well as
regulatory compliance. In process product testing is done in order to check the finished product status which should
be similar to the standards as stated in the pharmacopoeias as the final sample taken for the finished product testing
tends to be a representative of a large batch, a significant difference still remains. The official pharmacopoeias in
different regions determine the quality requirements for pharmaceutical products. However the parameters and
standards differ to some extent from each other. So in this, an attempt is being made to compare and bring out the
harmonised range within which a product should fall in order to meet the pharmacopoeial specifications of that region.
The main aim is to study the quality control tests of tablets and capsules which are the most popular conventional
dosage forms and to inscribe the similarities and differences as per various pharmacopoeias. It was noted that except
for a few parameters, the quality control tests were broadly similar.
