Why the BP?

The British Pharmacopoeia (BP) is the only comprehensive collection of authoritative official standards for UK pharmaceutical substances and medicinal products. It includes approximately 4,000 monographs, which are legally enforced by the Human Medicines Regulations 2012. Medicinal products or active pharmaceutical ingredients sold or supplied in the UK must comply with the relevant monograph.

All monographs and requirements of the European Pharmacopoeia (Ph. Eur.) are reproduced in the BP, making the BP a convenient and fully comprehensive set of standards that can be used across Europe and internationally.

New in the BP 2027 edition

The BP 2027 editions deliver enhanced functionality to support efficient identification and review of legislative updates. A new Advanced Search filter allows users to refine results by new or updated text, while clear status flags within search results indicate whether content is new or revised in the 2027 edition.

Additionally, we have made available to all users an omitted text list since the 2014 edition, complete with the year of last inclusion and direct links, ensuring continuity and greater transparency when tracking regulatory changes.

New monographs and British Pharmacopoeia Chemical reference substances (BPCRS):

  • 18 new BP monographs and all the new and updated texts featured in Issues 12.1 to 13.1 of the European Pharmacopoeia**
  • One new infrared reference spectrum has been added to the collection
