Guide: European Pharmacopoeia (Ph. Eur.) – Sign-up Instructions
The European Pharmacopoeia (Ph. Eur.) is the official compendium of the EDQM– Europe Council, containing monographs, chapters and methods that set the quality standards for medicinal products and substances in Europe; it is legally binding in the Member States and within the EU.
It is a unique reference work for the quality control of medicinal products. The official standards it contains provide a scientific basis for quality control throughout a product’s life cycle. These standards are legally binding, as set out in the Council of Europe Convention on the Elaboration of a European Pharmacopoeia and in national and EU pharmaceutical legislation. The quality standards of the Ph. Eur. become mandatory on the same date in all States Parties to the Convention.
