Changes in the EDQM CEP Database
Recommendation

10/11 February 2026
Risk analysis, preventive measures and incident management
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- Status of the CEP (valid, validation is temporarily suspended or withdrawn)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 This information about the date is now listed for all CEPs (also for CEPs which are withdrawn or expired).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.
