Submitting the application

All applications must follow the common technical dossier (CTD) format which has been a requirement since 2003. The preferred format for new marketing authorisation (MA) applications is the electronic Common Technical Dossier (eCTD). However, we accept that many companies are not yet ready to submit applications in that format. Therefore, we will accept applications in PDF-only format.

The Summary of Product Characteristics (SmPC) will need to be prepared using the Word template. You also need to use the MHRA Adobe Application form which is available via the MHRA Portal. This will produce an XML file that we will be able to upload directly into our database. eCTD applications must be created according to the current specifications: eCTD specification v 3.2, EU Module 1 specification v 1.0, eCTD EU application v 1.0.
