PLM Portal eAF – Integrity stamp go-live on 6 March
EMA is pleased to announce that the PLM Portal eAF Integrity stamp feature will be deployed Thursday, 6th of March, after 18:00 CET.
The main impact and changes are as follows:
- Upon 'Finalisation', the PLM Portal web based human variation eAF will be locked and moved to the 'Completed' tab (the form can be opened for further editing if necessary)
- The form will be locked with a digital 'signature' called eAF integrity warranty (or eAF integrity stamp)
- Will be launched on 6th March 2025 – after this date the system will include the stamp on all forms that are finalised
- Forms that have not been finalised (i.e. do not contain the integrity stamp) will be rejected by the regulators in the future – date to be confirmed!
- The applicants will still be able to include additional digital signature(s) into the finalised form (exported pdf)
- It will not be possible to include an image of a signature or an 'adobe signature' to the form after the stamp is included
- There is no integrity stamp in the ‘legacy’ interactive pdf eAFs
If you have any question please contact plm.valuestream@ema.europa.eu or raise a request in the EMA Service Desk..
AND

PMS User Interface edit functionalities now live for Industry users!
The Product Management Service (PMS) User Interface (PUI) edit functionalities - live on the
Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) portal
- are now available for Industry users.
Note that the write access is for now limited to pack size and manufacturer data for non-Centrally Authorised Products* (non-CAPs).
This data is indeed required for the shortage reporting via the
European Shortages Monitoring Platform (ESMP), which went live with full functionalities on 29 January 2025.
This milestone builds on the previous go-live of the
PMS Application Programming Interface (API) in read-only mode
(for Marketing Authorisation Holders (MAHs) on 3 July 2024, for H&V National Competent Authorities (NCAs) in September 2024 and for all NCAs in December 2024) and the launch of the
PUI in read-only mode for CAPs and non-CAPs
(respectively on 31 May 2024 and 19 September 2024).
Please consult this news article
for full PMS roadmap and a recap of key current and future actions for MAHs.
