1 RCP-1 = value at the end of the labelling and temperature at the time of test; 2 RCP-2 = value determined in the middle between the labelling and the expiry time and temperature at the time of test; 3 RCP-3 = value determined at the expiry time and temperature at the time of test; expected value is the standard value required by the manufacturer for administration to patients.
