What is EP / Ph. Eur. (European Pharmacopoeia)?
The pharmacopoeia published by the European Directorate for the Quality of Medicines & HealthCare, part of the Council of Europe. Its monographs are legally binding in the member states of the European Pharmacopoeia Convention. The EDQM also runs the Certification of Suitability (CEP) procedure. Some reagent catalogues use EP to mean extra pure, which is unrelated.
