Compulsory use of electronic application forms (eAF)

Compulsory use of electronic application forms (eAF)

From 1 January 2016 the use of electronic application forms (eAF) for MRP/DCP and national procedures (initial MAs, renewals, variations) will be mandatory within electronic submissions. These eAFs are designed to reflect and capture the same content as the paper based application forms and offer a range of new possibilities, especially:

• structured form fields
• online access to standard terms of EMA while entering data
• automated duplication of data within the form
• automated import of application data
• validation of data input and feedback to the user
