Materials and methods. Raw materials of Harpagophytum procumbens. The research was carried out by the way of determination the macroscopic, microscopic and quality indicators. Results. Studies showed that the roots of Harpagophytum procumbens, in the case determination of macroscopic, microscopic indicators, quality indicators such as: «Loss of drying», «Total ash», «Starch», qualitative and quantitative determination of biologically active substances (BAS) meet regulatory documentation – monographs EPh 8.0 and SPhU 2.0 «Devil’s claw Root». Conclusions. The data obtained indicate that the raw materials of Harpagophytum procumbens meet the requirements of EPh and SPhU 2.0. The results of the studies have been taken for the development of the monograph SPhU 2.0 «Devil’s claw Root», which is presented without the introduction of additional national parts.
