What do overages mean in formulation?

Manufacturing

An overage is an intentional amount above a target declaration under a documented rationale. It must not be assumed from a label-to-test difference. The relevant ingredient, assay, process losses, stability data and market rules need assessment. This site does not calculate automatic overages or treat extra active content as inherently better.
