2. Microbiology: TAMC (total aerobic microbial count), TYMC (total combined yeast and mould count) and Gram-negative bacteria are tested on a regular basis according to USP.
3. Manufacturing system: manufactured and packaged in a dedicated closed production system according to GMP guidelines established for bulk pharmaceutical excipients by the International Pharmaceutical Excipients Council (IPEC/PQG).
4. Food and feed systems: manufactured applying a HACCP system and FAMI-QS; verified by an independent external auditor, documented by a report, confirming that this HACCP system fulfils the requirements of European Union regulation (EC) No 852/2004.
5. E551 compliance: the purity criteria for E 551 according to (EU) 231/2012 (specifications for food additives regarding (EG) 1333/2008, Annex II and III) are met.
6. Appearance: white, fine, amorphous powder.
7. Sieve residue: typical sieve residue (Grit, 45 µm) is < 0.025% (according to ISO 787-18).
8. Elemental impurities: elemental impurities are not intentionally added to the production process; elemental impurities under ICH Q3D are tested on a regular basis according to USP 233 and Ph. Eur. 5.20.
9. Residual solvents: no organic solvents are used in manufacture, therefore no residual solvents are present; class 1 residual solvents cited in USP/NF (USP chapter 467) — carbon tetrachloride, 1,2-dichloroethane, 1,1,1-trichloroethane and benzene — are tested on a regular basis according to USP.
