qualified, (in line with Q3A).
• New impurities to be investigated and controlled. • Limits for single unknown and total impurities should also be
controlled.

Ph Eur 5.10 Control of Impurities (1) • Drug Monograph covers organic and inorganic
impurities
• The ‘Related substances’ test is a general test, which
covers relevant organic impurities
- May be supplemented by specific tests to control a specific impurity - If only specific tests, control of organic impurities is still required
• Different impurity profiles: one test or several tests to
control all known profiles
• Only the tests necessary for a known profile for the
source need be performed to establish compliance.
• Residual solvents to be controlled (Ph Eur 5.4 and
2.4.24).
