Certain materials that are not on the positive lists can be used for the manufacture of pharmaceutical packaging but it is the responsibility of the manufacturer of the pharmaceutical packaging to perform the appropriate migration tests upon that packaging. This testing must be performed for each type of pharmaceutical packaging and for each pharmaceutical contained in that packaging.
