Consultation on the Health Canada Draft Guidance Document: Use of Certificates of Suitability as supporting information in Drug Submissions

The Draft Guidance Document: Use of Certificates of Suitability as supporting information in Drug Submissions outlines policy and guidance for industry and staff regarding the submission of information for marketing authorisation of new drugs pursuant to the Food and Drugs Act and Food and Drug Regulations.

The purpose of the guidance document is to outline the requirements when preparing submissions that rely on Certificates of Suitability (CEPs) issued by the European Directorate for the Quality of Medicines and Healthcare (EDQM) to support the safety and effectiveness of a drug. It can also be used as guidance on the requirements for related drug submissions (for example, SNDSs, SANDSs, Post-NOC Changes).
