IPEC is a federation of three independent regional industry associations headquartered in the United States (IPEC-Americas), Europe (IPEC Europe), and Japan (JPEC). Each association focuses its attention on the applicable law, regulations, science, and business practices of its region. The three associations work together on excipient safety and public health issues, in connection with international trade matters, and to achieve harmonization of regulatory standards and pharmacopoeial monographs.
Over 200 national and multinational excipient makers, producers, and companies which use excipients in finished drug dosage forms are members of one or more of the three IPEC regional units. Over 50 U.S. companies are IPEC members.
IPEC is the only worldwide pharmaceutical industry organization that has embraced harmonization of drug approval and pharmacopoeial standards for excipients as part of its mission. Also, at the present, IPEC-Americas is the only U.S. trade association actively working to bring about the free flow of safe, useful excipients to ensure safe and effective finished RX and OTC drug dosage forms in the international marketplace.
IPEC has dedicated itself and its resources to bring about the needed changes by working closely with the FDA, its counterparts in the ICH process, and through the Pharmacopeial Discussion Group.
