Initially set up in 1994 with the ambition of centralising and harmonising the assessment of quality data for active substances covered by a Ph.&nbsp;Eur. monograph, this procedure was a response to a global challenge. The production of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) had shifted to countries outside Europe, and to avoid duplication of effort and ensure that reliable standards were being consistently applied, regardless of the country of production, the CEP procedure enabled centralisation and harmonisation, a practical and scientific necessity.\n\nThe CEP procedure has delivered on its promise for three decades now. It benefits manufacturers, regulatory authorities and public health systems alike by providing a single certificate \u2013 backed up by rigorous evaluations and GMP inspections ensuring the safety and quality of pharmaceutical substances \u2013 that is recognised by multiple regulatory authorities around the world.\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-3b6ccb1 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"3b6ccb1\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Watch the CEP 30th anniversary session of the EDQM 60th anniversary conference below, for a lively and informative discussion of how the CEP procedure exemplifies the EDQM\u2019s dedication to quality, collaboration and public health protection.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-9d5f465 elementor-widget elementor-widget-video\" data-id=\"9d5f465\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-settings=\"{&quot;video_type&quot;:&quot;vimeo&quot;}\" data-widget_type=\"video.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-wrapper elementor-open-inline\">\n\t\t\t<iframe class=\"elementor-video-iframe\" allowfullscreen allow=\"clipboard-write\" title=\"vimeo Video Player\" src=\"https:\/\/player.vimeo.com\/video\/1095858341?color&amp;autopause=0&amp;loop=0&amp;muted=0&amp;title=1&amp;portrait=1&amp;byline=1#t=\"><\/iframe>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-e4fff5b elementor-section-stretched animated-slow elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default elementor-invisible\" data-id=\"e4fff5b\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\" data-settings=\"{&quot;stretch_section&quot;:&quot;section-stretched&quot;,&quot;animation&quot;:&quot;fadeIn&quot;}\" data-no-translation=\"\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-50318a1\" data-id=\"50318a1\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-dfd8eef elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"dfd8eef\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h3 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">International co-operation<\/h3>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-04bcf6d elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"04bcf6d\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Throughout 2024, the Certification Department continued to work closely with national competent authorities (NCAs) in Europe and beyond. This continued co-operation is crucial to ensuring consistency in the approaches applied for the assessment of quality information on active substances, as well as for GMP implementation.<\/p><p>In October 2024, the EDQM welcomed the decision from the Brazilian Authority (Anvisa) to rely on the CEP evaluation procedure in their decision-making process for the quality of active substances.<\/p><p>As part of its strategic objectives, the EDQM strives to respond to current and emerging public health challenges and priorities for the benefit of patients and consumers. In terms of the Certification procedure, this implies exploring the possibility of increasing the recognition of its inspection results.<\/p><p>In 2024, the Certification Department continued to host the International API Inspection programme secretariat.
