Pharmaceutical Analysis Laboratory According to the European Pharmacopoeia

The pharmacopoeia is a regulatory reference work for pharmaceutical manufacturers as well as healthcare professionals. It brings together regulations relating to raw materials and the analytical methods to be used for quality control testing of pharmaceutical products.

There are various pharmacopoeia references drawn up by the relevant authorities:

• International pharmacopoeias, such as the European Pharmacopoeia, drawn up by the Council of Europe, and the International Pharmacopoeia, drawn up by the WHO.
• National pharmacopoeias, such as the French Pharmacopoeia, drawn up by ANSM, and the United States Pharmacopeia, drawn up by the FDA.

These standards are established to ensure the compliance of medicines and are constantly updated.

They are used during inspections carried out before a medicine is placed on the market, as well as during quality control tests throughout the medicine’s life cycle.
