The EDQM’s core activities include the provision of documentary and physical (reference) standards to ensure the quality of medicines and their ingredients. Availability of and access for patients to quality medicines is more important than ever in the context of the current COVID-19 pandemic.

This is why the EDQM is working hard to ensure continuous supply of our goods and services and is engaging with all stakeholders, including national, European and international authorities, to help protect public health.

We are committed to keeping our users updated on how we can support them to better respond to emerging needs. All the information related to our activities in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic can be found on a new page, which will be updated regularly.
