Chlorhexidine: prevent eye contact; use eye protection when handling.
Supplementary AEMPS framework: clean long-sleeved laboratory clothing, hair covering and dedicated footwear/overshoes. Powder handling requires suitable eye/respiratory protection; change gloves with activity or damage. Select the exact type/material using SDS and risk assessment.

A complete formula-specific hazard classification is not established. Assess potency, dust/aerosol, allergens, solvents, microbial risk and cross-contamination using the actual materials and process. Absence of a flag does not establish absence of hazard.

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.

6 months under the source conditions.
The source period applies to its exact composition, method and packaging. It is not this batch’s expiry date and cannot be transferred to another vehicle/strength. Calculate the actual date in the blank batch record.

Deaggregate methylcellulose. Disperse with a rod in the water/20% chlorhexidine solution mixture preheated to about 80°C as specified by the source. Allow cooling for gelation. Source specifies sieve 500.

The 50 mg refers to 20% chlorhexidine solution, not 50 mg active. General chlorhexidine heat sensitivity is not used to arbitrarily change this specific method.

Additional tests from the referenced SOP:
Appearance and mass. For batches: spreadability, 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.
Spreadability PN/CP/003: fixed sample quantity between glass plates, with locally defined successive loads and times; measure two diameters and compare area against load. Temperature variation of ±0.5°C is suggested. The source gives no universal acceptance limit; establish it locally.
