Light
Partial evidenceFor the finished product the source specifies:
Airtight plastic bottle, protect from light, <30°C.
References: [1]
Air
Not establishedNo specific information is established by the consulted sources. Complete this before local approval where critical to this preparation.

Water and solubility
Partial evidenceGlycerol is miscible with water. This does not establish product microbiological stability.
Calamine is practically insoluble in water/ethanol.
ZnO: practically insoluble in water and ethanol.
Humidity
Partial evidenceGlycerol is hygroscopic; limit raw-material exposure to moisture.

pH and related incompatibilities
Partial evidenceCalamine reacts with acids, releasing gas.
ZnO dissolves in dilute mineral acids and forms soaps with fatty acids.
Other incompatibilities
Partial evidenceGlycerol: hazardous reaction with strong oxidising agents.
References: [2]
Ingredient-specific information
Partial evidenceGlycerol: Glycerol is hygroscopic; limit raw-material exposure to moisture.
Calamine: Calamine is practically insoluble in water/ethanol.
Zinc oxide: ZnO: practically insoluble in water and ethanol.
These are selected facts for identified ingredients; relevant sensitivities and incompatibilities are detailed in the corresponding fields. This is not a complete SDS for every material.
Personal protective equipment
Partial evidenceComplete formula-specific PPE is not specified. Select gloves, eye protection and exposure controls using the exact materials’ SDS and the local risk assessment.
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.
Risks and precautions
Partial evidenceA 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.

Compounding conditions
Documented in sourceThe 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.
BUD rationale
Documented in source2 weeks according to the source.
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.

Preparation procedure
Documented in sourcePrepare EX023. Dilute 25 mL magma with 25 mL water. Mix calamine, ZnO, glycerol and about 25 g of this diluted magma to a homogeneous paste. Incorporate into the remaining diluted magma and add remaining water to final volume.
Observations
Documented in sourceThe 25 g is an aliquot of already diluted magma, not a replacement for the 25 mL original EX023. The main text cites the solution SOP, while environment/form refer to suspensions.

Quality control
Partial evidenceWhitish fine glossy suspension with characteristic odour.
Additional tests from the referenced SOP:
Appearance and mass/volume. For batches: sedimentation rate, viscosity RFE 2.2.8, relative density 2.2.5, 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.
Storage
Documented in sourceAirtight plastic bottle, protect from light, <30°C.
