 are UNOFFICIAL STANDARDS generated internally by the
manufacturer or user company for CONTROL PURPOSES. Pharmacopeial requirements allow flexibility of some other criteria which affect the quality of the finished product due to difference in formulation ingredients, manufacturing techniques and equipments. Thus, appearance of finished product, physical characteristics of the dosage form vary from one manufacturer to another. Additional criteria are included as mandatory in-house tests to satisfy the needs of good manufacturing practices. An example would be the need for determination of particle size of a raw material to control variability of suspended materials.

 are those MANDATED BY THE REGULATORY AGENCY such as the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). These are required for registration purposes and regulatory compliance. An example is the comparative and multipoint dissolution test for products. When the dissolution profile of a generic drug in several dissolution media is similar to the innovator drug, the generic drug is considered by the FDA to have the same bioavailability as the innovator drug.
Other regulatory standards are those issued by the World Health Organization
(WHO), the United States Food and Drug Administration (US FDA) and the
