French term or phrase: conditions d'utilisation 'in use' du produit
Hello all!

I'm confused about the wording here. Is the "in use" simply the English translation of "conditions d'utilisation"? I'm not sure how best to word this and I would appreciate suggestions...

Here is the full sentence:
Le promoteur devra envisager:
l'inclusion de paramètres de pureté et de potency pour justifier des conditions d'utilisation 'in'use' du produit.

Thank you!

conditions of use after first opening
Explanation:
This is really just a (slightly educated) guess, as the only meaning of "in use" I have encountered with pharmaceutical products has been "after first opening" (e.g. in-use stability, in-use storage time, in-use shelf life).

(Based on this experience, I would have expected "conditions de stockage" rather than "conditions d'utilisation", but why not specify conditions of use after first opening.)
