Changes in the EDQM CEP Database

Recommendation

26/27 January 2021

Live Online Training: Handling of Foreign Particles in APIs and Excipients

The EDQM maintains a database that contains the relevant information about the issued Certificates of Suitability (CEP). The publicly available version allows you to search for a variety of information:

• Name of the certified substance
• Monograph number
• Owner of the CEP
• CEP number
• Date of issue of the CEP
• Expiry date of the CEP
• Status of the CEP (valid, validation is temporarily suspended or withdrawn)

Due to user requests, the database now allows users to search for CEPs which have an expiration/end date. This information about the date is now listed for all CEPs (also for CEPs which are withdrawn or expired).

Here you can open the CEP database.
