INTRODUCTION
Reference Standards (RSs) are the chemical substances or drug substances with high
purity.
These are not intended to use as drugs.
Reference Standards (RS) plays vital role in all phases of Drug Development process.
RS serves as basis for evaluation of both Process and Product performance &
serves as bench marks for drug Safety.

RSs are generally obtained and prepared from United States of Pharmacopeia-National
Formulary (USP-NF)
USP RSs collection consists of more than 3,000 items ranging from drug substances,
related impurities, residual solvents, biologics, excipients, botanicals, polymers and
melting point standards.
In India, Central Drug Laboratory is responsible for making available IP RSs.
NIST provide a wide variety of standard reference materials (SRMs) for validating and
calibrating analytical methods

USP Reference Standards are highly-characterized physical specimens used to ensure the identity, strength, quality, and
purity of medicines (drugs, biologics, and excipients), dietary supplements, and food ingredients.
Other organizations also involved in establishment of
RSs, like Japanese & European pharmacopeias,
WHO, Reference Materials Committee of ISO (REMCO),
etc.

• Reference standards are used to support measurements concerned with chemical composition, biological, clinical, physical and miscellaneous areas.
• Substances characterized for chemical purity and/or trace impurities.
• Standard solutions and gas mixtures, often prepared gravimetrically from pure substances and used for calibration of gases.
• Physico-chemical reference materials characterized for properties such as melting point, viscosity.
• Reference objects or artefacts characterized for functional properties such as taste, odour, octane number, and hardness.

Includes following aspects,
1) Identification
2) Purity analysis
3) Assay of sample.
Results are compared with RS & sample should meet standards of RS.
These can be performed by using spectroscopic & chromatographic methods.

Calibration Of Instruments
When an instrument is giving irrelevant results then it can be calibrated by using RSs. If results are close to acceptance criteria then referred as instrument is working properly.
Some examples are given below,
Instrument RS Used for Calibration
UV-Vis Spectrophotometer Potassium dichromate
IR Spectrophotometer Poly Styrene film
Karl Fischer Titrimeter Di Sodium Tartrate
Flame Photometer Potassium dichromate
Gas Chromatography 1.0% v/v Toluene solution in n-Hexane

Method validation & Uncertainty of Method
Generally in a method validation estimation of Bias is most critical aspect .
RSs will have limited values of Uncertainty.
Uncertainty associated with RS should be NMT 1/3rd of sample measurement.

Reference Solution Compounds which are difficult to handle like very hygroscopic or moisture sensitive, a
stable solution of drug substance can be
manufactured and filled into tight glass ampule
for once use only with a detail of storage
condition and shelf life
Related Substance include the related
impurity, By-products, degradation products and used to prove the
system suitability, qualitative or

Should understand Physico chemical Profile of RS
ARS should have good chemical stability on wide range of storage
Requirements for characterization should be cross-checked to avoid Analytical errors.
The validity (i.e., accuracy, precision, sensitivity, specificity) of the analytical methods used for purity determination should be demonstrated
Highly pure (i.e., ≥99.5%)
In total the degradation and by-products should not be more then 0.5%
The levels of all impurities found (including those not chemically identified, isolated, and characterized) should be provided as a summary tabulation
Content of enantiomer in case of chiral compound is not taken into account as by- products and degradation products by normalized area percent

Purity DeterminationDetermines free content & water of hydration trapped into the crystal
Karl Fischer Titration
• Caution must be taken while doing KF Titration. No external moisture should interrupt.
Determines amount of volatile matter LOD
• The % of material lost on drying should correlate to the total amount of solvent and moisture obtained by other measurements, when determining mass balance accountability for reference standard material
Measures the change in the mass of sample as the temperature is changedTGA
• Gives information regarding moisture and solvent levels, an indication if the material is a hydrate or solvate, and the rate of reaction
Measures the difference in energy (heat flow) between reference and sample.DSC
• Used to accurately measure the melting point and purity of the reference material.

Working Factor And Drug Content CalculationContents for Reference standard can be calculated as follow-
100- (%Loss on drying + %Total related substance + % Residue on ignition*)
or
100- %Water + %Residual solvent +% Total related substance + % Residue on ignition*)
(100- Volatile correction#+ % Total related substance + % Residues on ignition*)/ 100
Working factor for Reference standard can be calculated as follow-
Working factor and content are correlated by a factor of 100, e.g. Drug content= 100xWF. If WF is 0.994 then content= 99.4%. But working factor should not be used in the documentation part of Reference Standard.
*This is project specific correction and depends again on the information available in the specification#Depends on the product specification, require to consider WC or residual solvents or LOD
If Value of WC+Residual solvents or LOD or DP and By products is <0.1% , can be disregarded
