British Pharmacopoeia 2027

Helping you to access quality and compliance, quickly, easily and with confidence.

New, legally enforced standards available from 1 August 2026. The BP 2027 edition supersedes the BP 2026 and becomes legally effective on 1 January 2027 with all European Pharmacopoeia texts included.

Updated annually, the British Pharmacopoeia (BP) is the only comprehensive collection of authoritative official standards for UK pharmaceutical substances and medicinal products.

It includes approximately 4,000 monographs, which are legally enforced by the Human Medicines Regulations 2012. Medicinal products or active pharmaceutical ingredients sold or supplied in the UK must comply with the relevant monograph.

All monographs and requirements of the European Pharmacopoeia (Ph. Eur.) are reproduced in the BP, making the BP a convenient and fully comprehensive set of standards that can be used across Europe and internationally.

New for the BP 2027

The BP 2027 supersedes the BP 2026 and becomes legally effective on 1 January 2027. This edition incorporates new monographs from both the BP and Ph. Eur. along with a significant number of revised monographs.
