Vendor Readiness Survey
The ICH M8 EWG would like to assess the readiness of eCTD v4.0 Vendors and their development and/or readiness to deliver a production ready eCTD v4.0 solution. We request that the eCTD v4.0 Vendor Readiness Survey be completed by September 15, 2019.
More information about eCTD v4.0 including the EU IG package can be found here. Updated reminder on the working documents provided within the eCTD submissions
As per the structure of the eCTD, the product information should be provided in PDF format within Module 1.1.3. However, occasionally it is necessary to provide, in addition to the PDF requirement, product information or the Module 2 documents in Word format. These files should be provided outside of the eCTD structure, in a separate folder called xxxx-workingdocuments on the same submission zip package as the eCTD.
For PMF certification submissions the ePMF should be provided within the working documents folder. This folder should be called “xxxx-workingdocuments” as for all other documents.
Other documents that can be provided as working documents outside of the eCTD structure include for example the RMP, (validation) checklists or any document specifically requested to be provided as a working document by the Health Authorities.
Please note: the Agency strongly recommends that applicants only include as part of the working documents folder applicable documents. Providing additional documents e.g. entire modules may cause delays in processing the application.
Please note: the eCTD validation report should not be included in the working documents folder. More information on the working documents can be found from the Harmonised Technical Guidance for eCTD Submissions in the EU.

Essential maintenance to computer applications
Essential maintenance is scheduled to be carried out to SPOR data services: Referential Management Services (RMS) and Organisations Management Services (OMS) between between 19:00hrs (CEST) and 20:00hrs (CEST) on Tuesday, 23 July 2019. Applications consuming real-time RMS data (PSUR Repository, MMS-e, EudraGMDP, EudraCT, EU PAS (ENCepp), and eAF) will be affected intermittently during this time. Should you have any questions please contact the EMA IT Service Desk.
The PSUR Repository will be impacted for industry users sending non-EU single assessment PSURs only and the NCA users using performing searches in the non-EU single assessment area of the PSUR Repository.
Search attribute MA authorisation type is also unavailable during this period. Please note that if you have submission deadline for non-EU single assessment PSUR on Friday, 26th July, you may wish to submit the PSUR prior to the submission deadline to avoid the downtime.
The eAF will be impacted for the ATC code field (MAA human and vet and the renewal form) and for the areas where Organisations and Locations are used (however manual input of data is allowed for these areas). There is no impact to the Variation application form. All other dropdown menus for controlled terminology continue working during this maintenance activity.
