EXCiPACT is a not-for-profit organisation that develops and manages a high-quality, 3rd part certification scheme for producers, suppliers and distributors of pharmaceutical excipients.
The European Directorate for the Quality of Medicines & HealthCare (EDQM) of the Council of Europe has a central role in the quality of medicines and healthcare, including consumer health protection.
Created in 1964, the EDQM is a leading organisation that protects public health by enabling development, supporting implementation, and monitoring the application of quality standards for safe medicines and their safe use. Our standards are recognised as a scientific benchmark worldwide. The European Pharmacopoeia is legally binding in member states . Similarly, the EDQM develops guidance and standards in the areas of blood transfusion, organ transplantation and consumer health issues.
The World Health Organization (WHO) is the world’s leading organization devoted to the improvement of the health of the world’s nearly seven billion people.
Headquartered in Geneva, Switzerland, the World Health Organization is affiliated with the United Nations.

European Paediatric Formulation Initiative (EuPFI) is a consortium working in a pre-competitive way on paediatric drug formulations.
Members are from academia, hospital pharmacies, pharmaceutical industry (Innovators, Generics,Contract Research Organizations (CRO), Specials and Excipient Manufacturers) with European Medicine Agency (EMA) as an observer.
It aims to expedite the development of better and safer medicines for children by identifying and scoping issues and challenges in paediatric formulation development.
It brings together the voluntary, academic, pharmaceutical industry, hospitals and regulatory agency in order to tackle the development of age appropriate formulation for paediatrics. It provides funding, expertise and resources to support the solutions to the problems and new technologies emerging from academic research.
