IAHPM · 13 October 2026 · Version 1.0

Set the review object

Name the finished product, formulation or stock-keeping unit, batch or version as applicable, and the statement or decision being reviewed. List every ingredient whose form, amount or evidence is material to that question.

Ingredient/product element Supplier identity and specification Amount and formulation role Manufacturing/process record Finished-product test or specification Product-information statement Change owner

Worked example

A hypothetical product uses ingredient X in a specified chemical form and amount. A supplier change retains the commercial ingredient name but changes a carrier. The review records the old and new specifications, formulation effect, process and stability questions, finished-product acceptance information and any wording that names or quantifies the ingredient.

The example does not claim that the carrier change affects safety or efficacy. It shows which records need a decision.

Review after change

Identify who receives the supplier notice, who evaluates it, which records are updated and whether existing inventory or product information is affected. Keep the final decision with its date and supporting material.
