TY - JOUR T1 - Validation of Elastomeric Closures for Parenteral Use: An Overview JF - PDA Journal of Pharmaceutical Science and Technology JO - PDA J Pharm Sci Technol SP - 286 LP - 294 VL - 34 IS - 4 AU - Richard T. Wood Y1 - 1980/07/01 UR - http://journal.pda.org/content/34/4/286.abstract N2 - Validation and qualification of eiastomeric closures are complex operations involving the coordinated efforts of both the pharmaceutical manufacturer and the closure manufacturer. Validation begins with selection of the elastomer formulation and concludes with the final packaging performance testing of the product/container/closure system. A review of the physical, chemical, functional, and stability testing requirements is presented. ER -
