What is the EDQM and what are its tasks?

The European Directorate for the Quality of Medicines (EDQM) emerged from the European Medicines Commission in 1994. The EDQM is responsible for the publication of the European Pharmacopoeia, the issuing of CEP certificates, as well as the characterisation and dispatch of reference substances. The EDQM is also the headquarters of the OMCL network for the quality control of human and veterinary medicinal products.
