1. Scope
1.1 This practice provides a general procedure for evaluating the capability to comply
with the Uniformity of Dosage Units (UDU) test. This test is given in General Chapter
<905> Uniformity of Dosage Units of the USP, in 2.9.40 Uniformity of Dosage Units
of the Ph. Eur., and in 6.02 Uniformity of Dosage Units of the JP, and these versions
are virtually interchangeable. For this multiple-stage test, the procedure computes
a lower bound on the probability of passing the UDU test, based on statistical estimates
made at a prescribed confidence level from a sample of dosage units.
