Bethesda, Md. – The Parenteral Drug Association (PDA) today announced the availability of ANSI/PDA Standard 001-2020, Enhanced Purchasing Controls to Support the Bio-Pharmaceutical, Pharmaceutical, Medical Devices, and Combination Products Industries, which was approved by the ANSI Board of Standards Review on March 13, 2020.

ANSI/PDA Standard 001-2020 is aimed at all personnel involved in the procurement, purchasing, or sourcing decisions within health care product manufacturing organizations.
