BP - British Pharmacopoeia and USP - United States Pharmacopeia.
In the world there are various pharmacopeias which are guidelines for the Pharmaceutical Industry for manufacture and testing of drugs. BP and USP are two of approximately 30 country or region run pharmacopeias. In the BP and USP there are specific tests which must be followed to be labeled BP or USP and depend on which drug (aspirin, acetominophen, etc) is being tested. In the US, it is a legal requirement that all drugs meet or exceed the USP. In various other places the laws may not be as strict to where any pharmacopeia may be used (British, Canadian, Japanese, US, European etc).
