EDQM REFERENCE STANDARDS


2451 SDS are available on-line in the reference standards database, or upon request via the HelpDesk.
The electronic versions of the European Pharmacopoeia (CD-ROM, Internet) also include links to the on-line database. These sheets are elaborated from bibliographic data available in scientific literature or from information communicated by suppliers of raw material used for the preparation of reference standards and has not been independently verified by EDQM staff. The accuracy of such information cannot therefore be guaranteed.
NB: The EDQM is in the process of revising SDS for all European Pharmacopoeia Reference Standards in accordance with Annex II of the Regulation No (EC) 1907/2006 (REACH).
