TOPICS : 03- Ph.Eur. REFERENCE STANDARDS (CRS/BRP) / 01- General / 05. How can I find out the assay/content of a CRS?
You can obtain it from our catalogue of reference standards, which is available at http://CRS.edqm.eu. If the content is not required to perform the test(s) described in the Ph.Eur. monograph (see also the FAQ about "What is the intended use of CRS/BRP?"), it is not indicated in the catalogue or on the label (or on the leaflet) and you cannot assume the content of a CRS to be 100% for a quantitative test.
However, when an impurity reference standard is used in a related substances test for the control of impurity, if no assigned content is stated on the label, the purity of the reference standard, for the purpose of this estimation, is considered to be 100 per cent.

TOPICS : 03- Ph.Eur. REFERENCE STANDARDS (CRS/BRP) / 01- General / 04. How do we find out the Expiry date of CRS/BRP?
No expiry date is indicated as European Pharmacopoeia Reference Standards are monitored regularly. It is down to the user to demonstrate that the CRS/BRP used in an official Ph. Eur. test or assay was current at the time of use. The “information” column of the catalogue may indicate an official date on which the batch is no longer valid as a CRS/BRP. Therefore, it is recommended to purchase only a sufficient amount for immediate need and to use the products as soon as possible. Moreover, the stability of the contents of opened vials or ampoules cannot be guaranteed.
