European Pharmacopoeia (Ph. Eur.) 12th Edition

English Electronic

Author:

European Directorate for the Quality of Medicines & HealthCare (EDQM)

The European Directorate for the Quality of Medicines and Healthcare (EDQM) will publish the latest edition of the European Pharmacopoeia (Ph. Eur.) at the end of June 2025, available as an online licence only.

EDQM have taken the opportunity to review the services they offer in order to improve the overall user experience. The licencing model will now be based on a 365-day licence with simplified management, providing users with access to all current, future and archived texts, not just the ones included in a particular edition. EDQM have also redesigned the Ph. Eur. online platform to make it more user friendly. More details will be published on the EDQM website before the end of June.

Online-only 12th Edition

Starting with Issue 12.1, the Ph. Eur. will be available exclusively online, with all texts - current, pending implementation and certain previous editions of the Ph. Eur. - available to subscribers on an improved, user-friendly platform combining a modern, intuitive interface with dynamic visuals. Users will be guided seamlessly to the content they need through powerful search tools, a dashboard and new filters and attributes.

New publication model

The former three-year cycle comprising one edition and eight supplements will be replaced by an annual edition made up of three issues, numbered .1 to .3 (for example, the 12th Edition will consist of Issues 12.1, 12.2 and 12.3). Each of these issues will contain the new and revised texts adopted at one of the three European Pharmacopoeia Commission (EPC) sessions held annually. What will not change is the implementation schedule, which remains January, April and July, respectively, of the year following publication of a text. A detailed calendar presenting the EPC sessions and adoption and implementation dates will be published in due time.
