robert-forbes.com.au - Robert Forbes and Associates - Regulatory and technical advice to suppliers and manufacturers of complementary medicines, dietary supplements, OTC medicines, cosmetics, personal care products and foods.

All medicines and therapeutic goods in general, must comply with certain standards before they can appear in the ARTG.

In most cases these are 'default standards', which are publicly available authoritative standards provided by the British Pharmacopoeia, European Pharmacopoeia, and United States Pharmacopeia – National Formulary. In some cases a minister may, by legislative instrument, specify an alternative 'ministerial standard', whether or not a default one exists.
