The EDQM offers a database in which the information on the Certificates of Suitability (CEPs) are available for public. The database offers a comprehensive search tool. It is possible to search for:

• Name of the certified substance or
• Holder of the certificate or
• Certificate number or
• Monograph number or
• Status of the certificate

The certificates suspended for a defined period (for GMP deficiencies) are identified by status of SUSPENDED. In total 29 suspended CEPs are currently listed. Nearly all of the suspended CEP holders are Chinese manufacturers and some Indian manufactures.

More information about the procedure for a suspension can be found in our GMP News from April 22, 2009.
