This Technical Methods Bulletin was prepared by the Task Group 14, under the chairmanship of Mr. Frank Keim, has provided a lucid, pragmatic approach to this subject, which should be of lasting and significant value to those involved with elastomeric closures. The aim of this effort is to provide a guide, specifically detailing methods and procedures for elastomer evaluation. It provides a basis to compare the physico-mechanical properties of elastomeric formulation as they are used as closures for parenteral products.
