This article aims to describe and critically examine the Indian Standard (IS 18947:2024) for globules used in Homoeopathy, outlining the technical specifications, testing methods, and significance for pharmaceutical quality assurance. The implications of the standard for manufacturers, quality control laboratories, consumers and regulatory bodies engaged in the production and evaluation of homoeopathic drugs are highlighted by presenting a consolidated view of the standard's scope and applications. This discussion underscores the continued importance of systematic standardization in ensuring the safety, consistency, and global credibility of homoeopathic medicinal products produced in India.
