Work on stability of pharmaceutical products was initiated by WHO in 1988 and the WHO Guidelines on Stability Testing for Well Established Drug Substances in Conventional Dosage Forms were adopted in 1996 by the WHO Expert Committee on Specifications for Pharmaceutical Preparations following extensive consultation.

Pharmaceutical Instruments

WHO has formulated international regulatory standards on several quality related issues, which include stability, packaging, storage, and bioequivalence. Care must be taken to ensure that active pharmaceutical compounds remain stable and unaffected by packaging materials or storage conditions.
