compendia Hi friends, thanks! The point now is what compendia really means here. Does it mean pharmacopoeia or the summary or abstract of a pharmacopoeia?

contained in a compendium (list)

I think your guess is correct, compendial ingredients are ingredients which are included in a list of some kind.
Compendium
(n.) A brief compilation or composition, containing the principal heads, or general principles, of a larger work or system



see this FDA site about drug testing:
Inactive ingredients- Compendial or non-compendial. For compendial ingredients, analytical methods and acceptance criteria recognized in official compendia should be referenced.

"Compendial tests are performed to determine if the material's specifications are met and/or to address anticipated regulatory concerns. These test series can also be applied to determine general drug compatibility or for routine quality control"

The ingredients have been tested (compendial test) and they are recognized in official pharmacopeia and meet specific quality standards.

Compendial Products (CPG 7132.05) FDA aproved

Compendial tests are performed to determine if the material's specifications are met and/or to address anticipated regulatory concerns. These test series can also be applied to determine general drug compatibility or for routine quality control.

There have been inquiries from the field and industry concerning the following four items as they apply to the manufacture of compendial (USP/NF) drug products.

1. Does a firm have to use the compendial methodology on a batch release basis, to determine whether its product meets the requirements of the monograph?
2. Does the word, "specifications" as used in 21 CFR 211.165 refer to compendial specifications or those set up by the firm's quality control unit?
3. Does a firm have to test for all requirements listed in the monograph for a compendial product?
4. Are the compendial testing requirements the same for products destined for the commercial market and the military?
