The Power and Pitfalls of Labeling Standardization

When organizations talk about standardizing labeling, they often mean very different things. In this premiere episode of NPG’s Let’s Talk Labeling Speaker Series, we’re unpacking what standardization really looks like during a global deployment—and the unexpected challenges that come with it.

You’ll walk away with practical insights, thought-provoking questions, and a fresh perspective on how standard, non-standard, and custom work all fit into the bigger picture. Whether you’re just beginning your labeling transformation or deep into deployment, this is the conversation the industry needs to have—and one you won’t want to miss.

Wait…Do We Really Have to Validate Our Labeling?

You might be thinking, “Validation? That’s for processes, not labeling. Ours is reviewed, approved, and tracked in our QMS. The FDA’s seen it all!” But here’s the twist: what happens when a product family on the market for over a decade, with countless line extensions and updates, gets pulled into a CAPA or inspection, and you don’t have objective evidence that the end user clearly understands the labeling?

That’s where label validation comes in. In this session of the Let’s Talk Labeling speaker series, we’ll explore real-world scenarios where validation became a critical need, and how to prepare before the audit spotlight hits. Whether your labeling has been stable for years or constantly evolving, this is your chance to learn how to uncover hidden risks and build a solid validation approach.
