The content of active ingredient in each of 10 capsules taken at random is determined according to the method given in the monograph or by following any other relevant analytical method of high accuracy and precision. The capsules pass the test if not more than one of the individual values is outside the specified limits 85–115% percent of the average value and none should be falling outside the limits of 75–125%. If two or three individual capsule values are lying outside the limits of 85–115% of the average values, the determination has to be repeated using another 20 capsules. The capsules comply with the test if from the total sample of 30 capsules, not more than 3 individual values are outside the 85–115% and none is outside the 75–125% limits of the average value.
