Increasing Use of USP Standards Globally

International use of USP's documentary and reference standards has grown over the years, and today they are used in more than 140 countries around the world. As the supply chains for drugs, food ingredients, and dietary supplements become more global, USP's Reference Standard sales have also increased internationally. Some international regulatory authorities and governments have incorporated USP standards into their laws and regulatory provisions to help protect the quality of products and ingredients produced in or exported to their countries. FCC is legally recognized in countries like Australia, Canada, and New Zealand.
