The word based application forms (AF) have been replaced by electronic application forms (eAF), with new possibilities like electronic data import/export, data population within the form, online access to standardised catalogue terms, built in business rule validation, and support for validation of form, etc. Implementation of mandatory use of the eAF is part of the HMA eSubmission roadmap.

The electronic forms and supporting technical documentation are available below.

Updated version of the eAF v1.26.0.0 (human variation) now available

An updated version 1.26.0.0 of the human variation eAFs is now available.

A single change has been implemented to emphasize the mandatory use of OMS for centralised procedure by updating the Declaration label in the Proposed section. There is a very limited impact to users of the forms. The use of the v1.26.0.0 is mandatory since 1st January 2022 (human).

Please note that an updated EMA practical guidance on the eAF for Type IA and IB variations is now available and this updated version of the guide addresses the use of this important declaration.

It is strongly recommended to use this latest version (document properties date 3.10.2022). Please note that there is no version number change.

Please note that the release notes are not published for this minor change at this time.

eAF Term Request process

If you need to request a new substance in order to complete an eAF, please submit a request for substance insertion with the corresponding SmPC to the EMA Service Desk portal.
If you need to request a new term (e.g. pharmaceutical form or unit of measurement) or an update of an already existing term in order to complete the eAF, please submit a request through the Referential Management Services (RMS) of the SPOR portal providing as much supporting documentation as possible (e.g. name of the product concerned, SmPC, justification for the request, etc.). The ‘RMS Web User Manual’, which provides a step-by-step guide on how to submit change requests, can be found under the 'Documents' section of the RMS portal.

Please note that you need to be registered with SPOR prior to the submission of change requests. The ‘SPOR User Registration Manual’, which provides detailed information on how to register in SPOR, can be found under the 'Document' section of the RMS portal. The user guide for managing referential and organisation data in eAF is available here.
