How the standing classes are found
Each class is read from the entry’s own Standing line under Pharmacognosy & Toxicology, by the authority it names: a class is set only when that line names the authority, and “no monograph” only when the line says so. The classes are an index to what the entries state, not a regulatory database; read the line itself before relying on it. Every Standing line was checked against the authority it names on 1 October 2026 (see Verification).
