The Commission has been receiving significant inputs from regulatory, industrial houses, academic institutions, national laboratories, individual scientists and others. Publication of IP at regular and shorter intervals is one of the main mandates of the Commission.

To establish transparency in setting standards for this edition the contents of new monographs, revised appendices and other informations have been publicized on the website of the IPC, besides following conventional approach of obtaining comments.
