EDQM Database

What do you need to know about the database?

The European Directorate for the Quality of Medicines & HealthCare (EDQM) maintains several databases to regulate the quality and safety of medicines and healthcare products in Europe. These databases provide valuable information for pharmaceutical professionals, regulatory bodies, and researchers.

The European Pharmacopoeia (Ph. Eur.) database is a key resource containing monographs on active pharmaceutical ingredients, excipients, and finished medicinal products. It ensures that medicines meet strict quality standards for manufacturing, testing, and quality control.

Additionally, the European Reference Materials (ERM) database offers access to certified reference materials essential for validating laboratory testing and ensuring consistency in pharmaceutical quality control.

The EDQM also manages a database on substances of human origin, providing standards for blood, tissues, organs, and cells used in transplantation and transfusion.

These databases play a crucial role in ensuring medicine safety, promoting transparency, and supporting regulatory compliance across Europe.
