Only the online format will contain all current USP–NF content.
The General Notices and Requirements section (the General Notices) presents the basic assumptions, definitions, and default conditions for the interpretation and application of the United States Pharmacopeia (USP) and the National Formulary (NF).
Requirements stated in these General Notices apply to all articles recognized in the USP and NF (the “compendia”) and to all general chapters unless specifically stated otherwise. Where the require-ments of an individual monograph differ from the General Notices or a general chapter, the monograph requirements apply and super-sede the requirements of the General Notices or the general chapter, whether or not the monograph explicitly states the difference.
Official text is text contained in USP and NF, including monographs, general chapters, and these General Notices. Revi-sions to official text are provided in Supplements, Interim Revision Announcements, and Revision Bulletins. General chapters numbered from 1000 to 1999 are considered interpretive and are intended to provide information on, give definition to, or describe a particular subject. They contain no mandatory requirements applicable to any official article unless specifically referenced in these General No-tices, a monograph, or a general chapter numbered below 1000.
General chapters numbered above 2000 apply only to articles that are intended for use as dietary ingredients and dietary supplements.
