Tested by versus meets the limitResolved

The distinction between "tested by the method of" and "meets the limit of" is the most useful thing here and applies to every compendial citation, not only this one. — COA_Colwyn (talk) 10:05, 17 March 2026 (UTC)

Agreed. I have kept it here rather than generalising it, and the sterility chapter article makes the same point in its own terms. ✓ Done — EndotoxinEd (talk) 13:40, 17 March 2026 (UTC)

Resolved. This thread is closed. Reopening it is fine if new sources appear; please add a new subsection rather than editing the closed discussion.

Numbering conventionDone

The below-1000 versus above-1000 distinction was new to me and explains why some certificates cite <1503> and others cite <85> as though they were the same kind of reference. — StudentSindhu (talk) 09:20, 24 May 2026 (UTC)

They are not. <1503> is informational guidance on peptide quality attributes; <85> is a mandatory test method where invoked. ✓ Done — Chromatokid (talk) 12:55, 24 May 2026 (UTC)

Done. This thread is closed. Reopening it is fine if new sources appear; please add a new subsection rather than editing the closed discussion.
