British Pharmacopoeia Chemical reference substances (BPCRS)

These Primary standards are established using absolute methods and the declared content figures are determined without comparing to another substance. You should use BPCRS to perform the tests in the British Pharmacopoeia (BP) or BP (Veterinary). Do not eat BPCRS or feed them to animals – you should only use BPCRS for chemical analysis. They are not suitable for any other use.

The BPCRS Catalogue is now available for download in Excel format, updated monthly to reflect the latest listings.
