International Society for Pharmaceutical Engineering (ISPE) · Historical CPIP examination: ISPE's retained seven-element Body of Knowledge, consulted on 2026-10-11. The issuer page gives no outline revision number, effective date or domain weights. ISPE closed new applications after 2013-11-30, allowed existing candidates to complete certification by 2014-06-30, and issued permanent certificates in January 2015. The workbook label maps directly to this discontinued credential; the assigned slug is preserved. This is not a current examination blueprint.
