French Pharmacopoeia Committees
All members of our advisory bodies are subject to the ANSM's ethical rules. The composition of these committees, the agendas and meeting minutes are published on the ANSM's website. The ANSM’s policy of openness to society as a whole is also reflected in the live broadcasting of filmed public hearings on the agency's YouTube channel.
The French Pharmacopoeia Committees participate in the drafting of monographs detailing the control methods to be applied to:
- starting materials;
- preparations for pharmaceutical use.

- It is a reference tool for healthcare professionals : users of pharmaceutical starting materials, quality control laboratories, drug registration departments and retail pharmacies.
- The latest edition of the French Pharmacopoeia (which came into force in July 2012) is accessible, free of charge, online: French Pharmacopoeia, 11th edition.
