# Pharmaceutical Analysis Laboratory According to the European Pharmacopoeia

## Why analyze your products according to the European Pharmacopoeia?

The pharmacopoeia is a regulatory reference work for [pharmaceutical manufacturers](https://filab.fr/en/sectors-of-activity/analysis-industry-pharmaceuticals.md) as well as for healthcare professionals. It brings together the regulations related to raw materials as well as the analytical methods to be used for [quality control analyses](https://filab.fr/en/sectors-of-activity/health-pharmaceutical-cosmetics/pharmaceutical-quality-control.md) on pharmaceutical products.

There are different pharmacopoeia references drawn up by the competent authorities:

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

These reference standards are put in place to ensure compliance [of medicines](https://filab.fr/en/sectors-of-activity/health-pharmaceutical-cosmetics/laboratory-analysis-medication.md) and are constantly updated.

They are used during inspections carried out for the marketing authorization of a medicine or during [quality control tests](https://filab.fr/en/sectors-of-activity/health-pharmaceutical-cosmetics/pharmaceutical-quality-control.md)throughout the lifecycle of the [medicine.](https://filab.fr/en/sectors-of-activity/health-pharmaceutical-cosmetics/laboratory-analysis-medication.md)
