Another professional organization headquartered in central Europe, APV (International Association for Pharmaceutical Technology, Mainz, Germany), developed the topic further in two seminars in Gelsenkirchen in late 1981 and early 1982 [6]. Speakers from industry demonstrated how validation could be applied to industrial activities and how a balance between resources allocation and results could be achieved. Oral dosage forms, topicals, and sterile products, as well as analytical methods during development, transfer, and production phases were discussed.

Parenteral Drug Association (PDA). 3 Bethesda Metro Center, Suite 1500, Bethesda, MD 20814, U.S.A. Phone +1 301-656-5900, Fax +1 301-986-0296. E-mail info pda.org. URL http //www.pda.org. PDA is a non-profit international association of more than 10,500 scientists involved in the development, manufacture, quality control, and regulation of pharmaceuticals/biopharmaceuticals, and related products. The association also provides educational opportunities for government and university sectors that have a vocational interest in pharmaceutical/biopharmaceutical sciences and technology. The association publishes the PDA Journal of Pharmaceutical Science and Technology. It holds an annual meeting and sponsors several symposia and educational programs. 

The pharmaceutical community was asked take on the responsibility for developing standards to support the introduction of innovative tools and technologies under the PAT framework. The ASTM International provided the process to develop these standards using technical expertise in all relevant disciplines from the pharmaceutical community and other industrial sectors. A significant support infrastructure for the desired state is emerging in several academic and scientific organizations and associations.
