The International Council for Harmonization (ICH) Endorsed on 6 October 2021 its (Addendum to M7(R2)) M7(R2) draft guideline setting new permitted daily exposure (PDE) limits for seven DNA-reactive substances to control their carcinogenic risk.
The rationale for including the new mutagenic impurities along with their supporting monographs are discussed in this guideline.

A PowerPoint presentation deck was also released along with the M7(R2) guideline to summarize the vast guideline.
The newly released guideline is now at Step 2 of the ICH process and the draft is open for public comment.
