Within the IPEC Federation, a project is ongoing to revise this guide to align the contents with the most recently published ISO 9001 standard on Quality Management (2015). Also, more examples will be added as an Annex to help readers better apply GMP principles to the manufacture of excipients.

This exercise has proven to be very resource intensive however, considerable efforts are being made to ensure that the new revision is finalised in the near term, with the goal of publishing the next version early in 2022.
