EDQM: European and Japanese Pharmacopeias Launch Harmonisation Project

The Japanese Pharmacopoeia (JP) and the European Pharmacopoeia (Ph. Eur.) are launching a joint project to harmonise pharmacopoeial standards for active substances and medicinal products. This initiative aims to reduce the burden on manufacturers by aligning pharmacopoeial standards across different regulatory regions.

Building on years of collaboration alos together with the United States Pharmacopeia and more recently the Indian Pharmacopoeia, this project expands beyond previous efforts on the retrospective harmonisation of general chapters and excipient monographs and will focus on developing monographs for active substances and medicinal products.
