USP 标准由一家国际性组织开发和修订,该组织的 800 多名专业志愿者与 USP 一道按照严格的避免利益冲突的原则开展工作。自从 1820 年创立以来,USP 一直在帮助确保美国药品的质量。沿袭这一传统,USP 今天与许多国家的科学家、医疗保健从业者和监管机构协力保护全世界的公共健康。
The United States Pharmacopeial Convention (USP) is a scientific nonprofit organization that sets standards for the identity, strength, quality, and purity of medicines, food ingredients, and dietary supplements manufactured, distributed and consumed worldwide. USP’s drug standards are enforceable in the United States by the Food and Drug Administration, and these standards are developed and relied upon in more than 130 countries.
USP standards are developed and revised by more than 800 volunteer experts, including international participants, who work with USP under strict conflict-of-interest rules. Since its founding in 1820, USP has helped secure the quality of the American drug supply. Building on that legacy, USP today works with scientists, practitioners, and regulators of many nations to help protect public health worldwide.
