The Excipient Information Package (EIP) concept was developed with the primary objective of providing standards for the exchange of data between excipient suppliers and excipient users in order to simplify and improve this process. The EIP documents are intended for use by individuals experienced and competent in the area of evaluating excipient suppliers and should not be viewed as a replacement for audits. While the documents are intended to form a complete package of information, each document within the EIP was designed to also be functional as a stand-alone document and therefore, some basic information may be common among the documents.

The EIP example documents provided here are intended to provide EIP users an example of what a finished EIP might look like in order to assist excipient makers in preparing EIP documents for their own products and to give excipient users an idea of what generally can be expected when an EIP is requested. These example documents are not intended to be templates nor should the verbiage used be considered standard phrasing that must be used. The company and product used in the example document are completely fictitious.
