The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is announcing the availability of a draft guidance entitled ``Q4B Evaluation and Recommendation of Pharmacopoeial Texts for Use in the ICH Regions; Annex 14: Bacterial Endotoxins Test General Chapter.'' The draft guidance was prepared under the auspices of the International Conference on Harmonisation of Technical Requirements for Registration of Pharmaceuticals for Human Use (ICH). The draft guidance provides the results of the ICH Q4B evaluation of the Bacterial Endotoxins Test General Chapter harmonized text from each of the three pharmacopoeias (United States, European, and Japanese) represented by the Pharmacopoeial Discussion Group (PDG). The draft guidance conveys recognition of the three pharmacopoeial methods by the three ICH regulatory regions and provides specific information regarding the recognition. The draft guidance is intended to recognize the interchangeability between the local regional pharmacopoeias, thus avoiding redundant testing in favor of a common testing strategy in each regulatory region. This draft guidance is the 14th annex to the core guidance on the Q4B process entitled ``Q4B Evaluation and Recommendation of Pharmaceutical Texts for Use in the ICH Regions'' (the core ICH Q4B guidance).
