How this set was arrived at. Base set per Ph. Eur. 0125 + monograph 3116. FLAG: 'Metal impurities (HPGe/ICP-MS)' is marked X in the draft but PSMA-1007 is a non-metal [18F] tracer with no chelator — a metal-impurities test is not a standard requirement for it; retain only if monograph 3116 explicitly requires it. Kept marked pending monograph text.
