Regulatory enrolment process (REP)
The Regulatory Enrolment Process (REP) facilitates the filing and processing of regulatory information related to:
- company
- dossier and product
- regulatory activity
- regulatory transaction
REP consists of web-based templates that capture information in a structured format. The REP templates replace existing Health Canada application and fee forms.
This process enables a move towards a common submission intake across product lines and allows Health Canada to automate the receipt and import of regulatory transactions into its repositories.
| Product Line | Version of the Regulatory Transaction Template | Functional Pilot | Production (voluntary use) | Mandatory |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Human Use Drugs (Pharmaceutical, Biologic and Radiopharmaceutical) and Disinfectants | Current - v5.0.0 | Closed | Closed | Current (Implemented Oct. 2020) |
| Medical Devices | Current - v3.0.1 | Closed | Current (Implemented July 2024) | 18 months from the production date |
| Clinical Trials | N/A | Date to be determined | Date to be determined | Date to be determined |
| Veterinary Drugs | Current - v5.0.0 | Closed | Closed | Current (Implemented Oct. 2022) |
