Pharmacopeial Harmonization

USP participates in the Pharmacopeial Discussion Group (PDG), formed in 1989 with representatives of the European Department for the Quality of Medicine in the Council of Europe and the Japanese Pharmacopeia in the Ministry of Health and Welfare (now the Ministry of Health, Labor, and Welfare). PDG meets twice yearly to work on pharmacopeial harmonization topics. In May 2001, PDG welcomed the World Health Organization as an observer. While not part of the International Conference on Harmonization (ICH), PDG usually meets in conjunction with ICH and provides the ICH Steering Committee with reports of its progress.
