Container water vapor permeation testing is performed as part of the pharmaceutical package development process to characterize the amount of moisture that can permeate through a container/closure system, potentially affecting product quality. In addition, these data serve as a baseline such that should changes be needed in the future (e.g., changes to materials or suppliers), the package performance of the proposed configuration can be compared to the currently approved configuration. The objective of this historical data analysis was to estimate water vapor transmission rate (WVTR) variability to determine prospective noninferiority margins for future WVTR comparisons.
