\u2662 FUNCTIONALITY-RELATED CHARACTERISTICS<\/h2>\n
\nmandatory part of the monograph since they also represent mandatory quality criteria. In such cases, a cross-reference to the tests described in the mandatory part is included in the Functionality-related characteristics section. Control of the characteristics can contribute to the quality of a medicinal product by improving the consistency of the manufacturing process and the performance of the medicinal product during use. Where control methods are cited, they are recognised as being suitable for the purpose, but other methods can also be used. Wherever results for a particular characteristic are reported, the control method must be indicated.
\nThe following characteristics may be relevant for lactose monohydrate used as a filler\/diluent in solid dosage forms (compressed and powder).<\/p>\nParticle size distribution (2.9.31 or 2.9.38)<\/h3>\n
