Changes to the guidance document Formal requirements HMV4 and the form Import of a medicinal product according to Art. 14 (2) TPA (parallel import) HMV4

01.10.2021

Regarding combination products, the following subheadings have been added to section 2.5.15 of the guidance document Formal requirements HMV4:

  • Application for authorisation of a non-integral combination product
  • Application for authorisation of an integral combination product

Also, this guidance document did not previously contain requirements in section 3.22.6 “Parallel import”. The following requirement has now been added here:
Should there be a change to the wholesaler or supplier of the medicinal product imported according to Art. 14 (2) TPA, an updated version of the form Import of a medicinal product according to Art. 14 (2) TPA (parallel import) HMV4 must be submitted.

This change has therefore also been applied in the form Import of a medicinal product according to Art. 14 (2) TPA (parallel import) HMV4. The name and address of the wholesaler and/or supplier must now be entered here. The name and address of the Qualified Person is no longer required.

The revised documents are valid as of 1 October 2021.
