EDQM: Ph. Eur. in Online-Only Format from June 2025

The European Directorate for the Quality of Medicines & HealthCare (EDQM) will launch the online-only European Pharmacopoeia (Ph. Eur.) in June 2025, transitioning to a more environmentally friendly format. The new platform will enhance user experience with a modern interface and improved search tools.

Key features of the online version are:

  • The Ph. Eur. will be exclusively online starting with issue 12.1, offering all texts, including current and previous editions.
  • The publication model changes to an annual edition with three issues (for example 12.1, 12.2, 12.3), each containing new and revised texts from the European Pharmacopoeia Commission sessions.
  • Implementation dates remain January, April, and July of the following year.

This shift aims to better meet subscriber needs while promoting sustainability.

There’s Something in the Air – Cleanroom Technology in the Pharmaceutical Industry

In pharmaceutical manufacturing, clean air is not a subjective perception but a precisely controlled technical condition that is essential for product safety. Heating, ventilation and air-conditioning (HVAC) systems ensure, through airflow management, air filtration and pressure control, that particles and microorganisms are kept away from critical areas. This is based on clearly defined requirements for air changes, cleanliness classes, airflow patterns and pressure concepts, all of which are designed according to the manufacturing process and contamination risk involved.
