DRAFT Compositional guidelines
A compositional guideline is a summary of descriptions, tests and limits that define the composition and characteristics of a substance approved for use in Listed medicines as either an active substance or an excipient. Compositional guidelines are required where there is no standard for the substance in the British Pharmacopoeia (BP).
However, substances to which a BP monograph applies must meet the specifications of the BP unless an exemption is granted under Section 14 of the Therapeutic Goods Act 1989.
