Pda Technical Report 43, (Tr 43) Identification And Classification Of Nonconformities In Moulded & Tubular Glass Containers For Pharmaceutical Manufacturing

Pharmaceutical companies and glass manufacturers have made quality decisions based on visual inspections of glass containers without the aid of universal guidelines or standards. Inconsistency in definition of glass container nonconformities has resulted in confusion among glass manufacturers, pharmaceutical and regulatory agencies. The purpose of this technical report is to provide consistent, standardized quality criteria that can be used by pharmaceutical companies for the visual inspection of incoming glass containers. Two detailed lexicons (collections of color photographs of example glass defects) visually illustrate glass nonconformities have been developed: one for molded glass and one for tubular glass. These lexicons are distributed on CD along with this technical report, which is priced at US$ 225, and available immediately to download from: https://store.pda.org/bookstore/ProductDetails.aspx?ProductAbbreviation=...
