List of available International Infrared Reference Spectra

International Infrared Reference Spectra are established on the
advice of the WHO Expert Committee on Specifications for Pharmaceutical
Preparations. Full-scale reproductions of spectra produced
from authenticated material on a suitable instrument are supplied for
use in identification tests described in the specifications for quality
control of drugs, published in The international pharmacopoeia or
proposed in draft monographs.
Precise instructions for the preparation of spectra are given on the
label of each reference spectrum. All International Infrared
Reference Spectra are distributed together with a document giving
further details on the use of such spectra, entitled “General recommendations
for the preparation and use of infrared spectra in
pharmaceutical analysis”.1
