Request a quote

The ICH Q3D guideline (EMA/CHMP/ICH/353369/2013) aims to limit and control the presence of elemental impurities ("heavy metals") in medicinal products in order to ensure their quality and safety. This requires a risk analysis using an end product or component approach (EMA/CHMP/QWP/115498/2017).

Our cooperation partners carry out the ICH Q3D risk assessment of elemental impurities for each product based on the proposed approaches and evaluate the best possible option depending on the type of product, the available information and customer requirements.

Each risk assessment is prepared in English by ERT- or DABT-certified toxicologists.

The risk assessment of elemental impurities should be based on the following points:
Identify all possible sources of contamination (active ingredients, excipients, manufacturing process, water or primary packaging).
Analyse the elemental impurities that may be present in the product.
Assess the values of the elemental impurities and compare them with the specified limit values.
Establish strategies for controlling contamination levels to ensure that limits are not exceeded..
