The document defines six ICH stability zones based on climate conditions and lists the long term testing conditions required for each zone, including temperature, humidity, and minimum duration of 12 months. It also specifies the accelerated and intermediate testing conditions, requiring temperatures of 25-40°C, humidity levels of 60-75% RH, and minimum durations of 6 months.
