Many international manufacturers overlook a key regulatory opportunity that can significantly speed up market access in Russia and the EAEU.
The Key Advantage: You can submit a new drug registration dossier without holding a valid EAEU GMP certificate at the time of submission.
How Does This Opportunity Work?
Instead of an EAEU GMP certificate, applicants can provide:
- Alternative Supporting Documents (e.g., national GMP certificates from EAEU member states, or equivalents from stringent authorities like the FDA, EMA, or PMDA).
- A Written Commitment to organize and undergo an EAEU GMP inspection within a set timeframe.
Important: The inspection is scheduled during the expert evaluation phase and
must be successfully completed before the registration process is finalized.Legal Basis:Decision of the Council of the Eurasian Economic Commission No. 78 dated November 3, 2016 "On the Rules for Registration and Expertise of Medicinal Products for Medical Use" (as amended by Decision No. 34 dated May 22, 2025).
