The European Directorate for the Quality of Medicines & HealthCare (EDQM) is pleased to announce a major evolution of the European Pharmacopoeia (Ph. Eur.) publication schedule, starting with Issue 13.1.

Together with its transition to a fully online version, the Ph. Eur. is adopting a new publication schedule that will extend the period between publication and implementation dates from six to nine months. This move will give users more time to prepare for upcoming modifications.

Issue 13.1 will be published on the Ph. Eur. platform in April 2026, with an implementation date of January 2027 for its new and revised texts.

The publication schedule for the current and upcoming issues of the Ph. Eur. is now available on the EDQM website and the new Ph. Eur. platform.
