Gradual rollout of a new primary label for European Pharmacopoeia reference standards

We would like to inform you that the EDQM will gradually introduce a new primary label for European Pharmacopoeia reference standards.

This introduction will take place in several stages and will affect new reference standards (batch 1) placed on the market from the end of July 2025 onwards. It will then be gradually rolled out to all other reference standards during 2026.

This new label has been designed to meet the requirements of Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008 (CLP). It will allow additional information to be included, such as:

  • the CAS number of the substance (if available),
  • the chemical name,
  • safety pictograms (if any).

Other key information will of course remain, but in a clearer and more harmonised visual format.

Standards labelled before this date will not be relabeled, so two labels’ layouts will coexist for a certain period of time.

Our team remains at your disposal should you have any questions.
