Dec. 1, 2015 is the official implementation date for the Pharmacopoeia of the People's Republic of China 2015, also known as the Chinese Pharmacopoeia 2015 or ChP 2015. With all the efforts
underway to harmonize monographs and other requirements among the major global pharmacopoeias (the United States Pharmacopoeia, European Pharmacopoeia and Japanese Pharmacopoeia), one might
assume that the latest version of the pharmacopoeia of the world’s second largest economy, the ChP 2015, would also be included, but this is not necessarily the case.
