Polaris - Driving speed and accuracy into product submission process

Polaris benefits Life Science companies in a global market with increasing regulatory challenges

European Medicines Agency (EMA) is in the process of implementing the standards developed by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) for the identification of medicinal products (IDMP). These standards specify the use of standardized definitions for the identification and description of medicinal products for human use. This facilitates the reliable exchange of medicinal product information in a robust and consistent manner, by providing a common product ’language’ for stakeholders to use in their interactions. Following the implementation of the ISO IDMP standards, the agency will replace its data-submission format in line with the ISO IDMP standards, terminology and formats.
