2. Objectives and scope
3. Product and packaging description
4. Batch selection rationale
   - Development batches
   - Registration batches
   - Commercial scale batches

5. Storage conditions (ICH zones)
   - Long-term: [Conditions]
   - Accelerated: [Conditions]
   - Intermediate: [If applicable]
   - Photostability: [If applicable]

6. Testing schedule
   - Timepoints by condition
   - Reduced testing protocol

7. Test methods and specifications
   - Physical tests
   - Chemical tests
   - Microbiological tests
   - Container closure integrity

8. Acceptance criteria
9. Stability-indicating method validation
10. Out-of-specification procedures
