Question
Is DMF grade API different from any standard pharmacopoeia like US/NF or BP ?
If yes can it be analyzed as per these standards?
If no, what way it differs and procedure of analysis should be as per which standard?
There is no such thing as "DMF grade". APIs are manufactured to pharmacopoeia standards.
DMF (Drug Master File) merely means that you have advised the health authority of the manufacturing and testing methodologies you have used - it is not an indication of pharmacopoeal specification or that you manufacture acccording to GMP.
