  • <660> Containers-Glass

  • <1660> Evaluation of the Inner Surface Durability of Glass Containers

USP noted that the revisions will appear on the Cancellations list for the Second Supplement to USP 41–NF 36, which will be posted on April 27, 2018. USP anticipates that it will publish revised proposals for the affected General Chapters in a future issue of the Pharmacopeial Forum.
