The European Pharmacopoeia (Ph. Eur.) is the primary source of official quality standards for medicines and their ingredients in Europe. Ph. Eur. standards provide a scienti?c basis for the quality control of a product throughout its life cycle, supporting the pharmaceutical industry and healthcare systems.

As laid down in the Council of Europe Convention on the Elaboration of a European Pharmacopoeia and in European Union and national pharmaceutical legislation, these standards are legally binding. They become mandatory on the same date in all states parties to the convention.

Key facts about the 11th Edition

• New edition, legally binding in 39 European countries as of 1 January 2023 and applied in more than 130 countries worldwide.

It is available in print or online versions (a downloadable version is no longer available). The supplements are non-cumulative in the print versions, but cumulative in the online subscriptions.
