Risk assessment
Reference batch: 100 mL. First ingredient: Thiamine hydrochloride, 10 g. Independently check chemical form, units and every scale conversion before weighing.
Check complete dissolution and crystallisation at the selected temperature. Calculate dose volume from the exact mg/mL, not the starting tablet or stock strength. Supply a suitable oral syringe.
For the local assessment record quantity per preparation, work frequency, duration of open handling, potential exposure routes and effectiveness of controls. These are assessment inputs; no fictitious final risk score is assigned.
Release checkpoint: confirm final volume or mass at the reference temperature, intended clarity or dispersion, and specified container/closure. Do not equate grams and millilitres without a justified density. [1], [13], [15]

Compounding conditions
The corresponding AEMPS SOP specifies room temperature 25 ± 5°C and relative humidity ≤60%, unless the particular formula requires otherwise. This is the work environment, not processing or storage temperature.
Follow the addition sequence, temperatures and times stated under Preparation Procedure. The specific monograph is not a complete qualification of the local facility/equipment. [1], [3]

BUD rationale
Period reported by source: 60 days at 2–8 °C; after opening 30 days, within overall expiry.
This duration is a specific formulary/source instruction. This review did not verify a complete primary study establishing chemical, physical and microbiological extension for the same finished formulation.
Selected general rule: up to 35 days for an aqueous form appropriately preserved in its final composition and pH. Use 20–25 °C, or 2–8 °C only where permitted/required by the source and compatible with the dosage form. A preservative name is insufficient if it is diluted, inactivated or partitioned into another phase.
The reference-policy ceiling in this edition is the shorter of the source period above and the general ceiling. Extension needs matching active/excipients/strength, container, temperature, a stability-indicating method and the required microbiological evidence for aqueous extension. An applicable official USP–NF compounded monograph is assessed separately in its complete text.
Use-by date = the earliest allowed date from preparation plus selected period, ingredient expiries and any shorter supported limit. In-use dating never extends overall BUD. Complete the actual date for the batch after the required checks.
A default is a conservative dating limit, not experimental proof of batch stability. Its category depends on final composition, preservation and permitted temperatures. Water percentage or loss on drying does not determine aw. Document using SOP-014/F-006; use SOP-017/F-012 for specific aw evidence.
USP does not require water-activity measurement for every nonsterile preparation. A justified classification of the actual formulation may guide dating; record it explicitly as inferred, not measured. Uncertain or borderline classification requires specific evidence or a suitable measurement. Finished-product dating does not outlast the available dating of previously compounded components/bases unless adequate specific evidence for the exact finished preparation has been formally adopted.

Calibrated pH meter and suitable check buffers. [1]
Calibrated pH meter and suitable check buffers. [1]
Compounding method
Dissolve thiamine in EX028, make up with syrup and homogenise. Check pH; adjust with 0.1 N NaOH if needed. [1]
Observations
The final quantity is the master-formula basis. Record actual yield, losses and deviations in the batch record. [1]
Container and packaging
Well-closed amber glass bottle; 2–8 °C, protected from light. [1]
Quality control
Clear colourless; pH 2.5–4.5.
Additional tests from the referenced SOP:
Appearance and mass/volume. For batches: colour, clarity/opalescence, relative density, pH and microbiological testing RFE 5.1.4.
pH under PN/CP/001: normally test the untreated sample unless otherwise specified. Accurate measurement follows potentiometric RFE 2.2.3; strips are limited to checks not requiring high accuracy.
Record the method, acceptance criterion, actual result and reviewer separately in F-005. A critical specification failure requires quarantine and investigation under SOP-015; retesting needs justification. [1], [3], [4], [15]

The numeric value is a literature reference ceiling subject to its specific conditions. No actual batch BUD has been assigned and no aw measurements have been produced. The exact formula, prerequisites, container, storage and quality evidence require approval for the actual application. The BUD clock starts when compounding begins. Use the shortest applicable supported limit and assess in-use dating separately. USP categories are a technical framework and are not presented as Greek legislation.
