CEP application:
CEP application in eCTD format contains 3 modules:
Upon receipt, the application is validated and listed for assessment. After assessment, the EDQM may send queries to the applicant. When they are resolved, the EDQM sends the applicant a CEP certificate, which is valid for 5 years from the date of first issue and valid indefinitely following the 5-year renewal.
CEP application is open to any manufacturer regardless of region they are based at. CEPs are accepted in 36 Member States of the European Pharmacopoeia Convention + EU, Canada, Australia, Singapore, South Africa, etc.
If a company which has been granted a certificate of suitability (EDQM’s CEP) may wish to apply for another CEP for the same substance, either when it is not possible to apply for a revision of the initial CEP or when the company wishes to have separate CEPs for different conditions of preparation or qualities, they can submit a new application as a “sister file”. This new application should fulfill the conditions listed in the guideline for sister files.
