ICH Q1 — Stability Testing

# ICH Q1 — Stability Testing — 50% of in-scope requirements covered.

2 requirements · 1 in scope (1 designed) · 1 out-of-scope (outside KYE™’s authority layer). The 50% is weighted over the in-scope base.

**Source:** The Stability Testing guideline (ICH Q1 — Stability Testing) defines the ICH Q-series quality expectations for stability data. KYE Protocol™ governs whether an AI-generated summary in this area may PROCEED to a consequential action — reliance in a dossier or Quality-Unit approval — under a named authority, with the justification recorded before the action and replay-provable provenance. KYE™ does not perform the underlying science or judge whether the quality is acceptable. · **License:** ICH guidelines are published by the International Council for Harmonisation; KYE™ registry paraphrases each requirement's intent and cites the official identifier for mapping purposes only.

## By category

| Category | Reqs | Enforced | Designed | Advisory | Deferred | Coverage |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| Authority over an AI stability summary at the action boundary | 1 | 0 | 1 | 0 | 0 | **50%** |
| Stability study science & shelf-life determination | 1 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | **0%** |
