EU-US-Japanese Pharmacopeia Group Accepts India As First New Member in Decades

The EU, US and Japanese members of the decades-old Pharmacopoeial Discussion Group have formally accepted the Indian Pharmacopoeia Commission as the PDG’s first new member in over 30 years. The move is an important step towards harmonizing pharmacopeial standards globally and expanding access to the PDG’s quality standards to the Indian pharmaceutical industry.

The IPC’s membership, announced this month, marks “the culmination of several years of discussions on new member participation to help increase global access to quality medicines and ensure PDG’s continued success,” said
