1. International Conference on Harmonization (ICH) Q3A(R2): "Impurities in New Drug Substances (Revised Guideline)." First Recommended for Adoption at Step 4 of the ICH Process on 30 March 1995, the guideline was revised under Step 2 of the ICH Process on 7 October 1999 and Recommended for Adoption under Step 4 on 7 February 2002 by the ICH Steering Committee. The Attachment 2 of this guideline has been revised under Step4 without further public consultation on 25 October 2006 (http://www.ich.org/LOB/media/MEDIA422. pdf).
2. International Conference on Harmonization (ICH) Q3B(R2): "Impurities in New Drug Products (Revised Guideline)."This guideline has been revised and finalised under Step 4 in February 2003. The Attachment 2 of this guideline has been revised under Step 4 without further public consultation on 2 June 2006 (http://www.ich.org/LOB/media/MEDIA421.pdf ).
3. International Conference on Harmonization (ICH) Q3C(R3): "Impurities Guideline for Residual Solvents." The tripartite harmonised ICH guideline was finalised (Step 4) in July 1997. This recommends the use of less toxic solvents in the manufacture of drug substances and dosage forms, and sets pharmaceutical limits for residual solvents (organic volatile impurities) in drug products (http://www.ich.org/LOB/media/MEDIA423.pdf).
4. "Impurities: Guideline for Residual Solvents (Maintenance)." A Maintenance process has been done to revise PDEs, as new toxicological data for solvents becomes available. The two documents have reached Step 4 of the process in September 2002. Both revisions (PDE for THF and PDE for NMP) have been incorporated into the core Guideline in November 2005.
