Updated Balance Requirements in the Pharmaceutical Industry

Aligning with USP, Ph.Eur., JP & ChP Standards

By Sartorius On Feb 23, 2026

Laboratory balance requirements across global pharmacopeias have been significantly revised to improve clarity, harmonization, and measurement reliability. The latest updates from the United States Pharmacopeia (USP), European Pharmacopoeia (Ph.Eur.), Japanese Pharmacopoeia (JP), and Chinese Pharmacopoeia (ChP) introduce clearer, practical, and harmonized requirements for analytical balances used in pharmaceutical quality control.

Accurate weighing is foundational to reliable analytical results. The revised chapters now emphasize:

Metrological traceability to SI units
Documented measurement uncertainty
Risk-based calibration and performance checks
Defined smallest net weight and minimum weight concepts
Controlled environmental conditions
