In cases where an active substance is described neither in the European Pharmacopoeia nor in the pharmacopoeia of a Member State, compliance with the monograph of a third country pharmacopoeia may be accepted if its suitability is demonstrated; in such cases, the applicant shall submit a copy of the monograph accompanied by a translation where appropriate.
Når et virksomt stof hverken er beskrevet i Den Europæiske Farmakopé eller i en medlemsstats farmakopé, kan overensstemmelse med monografien for et tredjelands farmakopé accepteres, hvis dennes egnethed er godtgjort. I sådanne tilfælde skal ansøgeren indsende en kopi af monografien, eventuelt ledsaget af en oversættelse.
