This document provides examples of raw materials that are likely to be critical or non-critical in pharmaceutical manufacturing. It lists various raw material categories and indicates whether they are generally critical or non-critical, while noting that some categories marked with an asterisk may be critical if used in final API purification or isolation steps and should be reviewed as such.
