INDEX
The British Phannacopoeia Commission has caused this British
Pharmacopoeia 2019 to be prepared under regulation 317 (1) of the Human Medicines
Regulations 2012 and, in accordance with regulation 317(4), the Ministers have
arranged for it to be published. The British Phannacopoeia 2019 contributes
significantly to the quality control of medicinal products for human use. It contains
publicly available, legally enforceable standards that provide an authoritative
statement of the quality that a product, material or article is expected to meet
at any time during its period of use. The Pharmacopoeial standards are designed
to complement and assist the licensing and inspection processes and are part of
the overall system for safeguarding purchasers and users of medicinal products in the UK. The British Phannacopoeia
Commission wishes to record its appreciation of
the services of all
those who have contributed to this important work.
