EU batch release of import products from non-EU countries

EU batch certification and EU release of imported products by QP

Each batch of investigational medicinal products or authorised medicinal products used in the European Union must be certified and released by a QP to be placed on the market.

In the case of EU imports, if the batch was produced in a third country, i.e., non-EU country with which no mutual recognition agreement exists, it first arrives at the permanent establishment of actual import. From there, delivery to customers can only take place after certification by a QP stating that the batch was produced in accordance with the relevant EU legislation.

In addition, a quality control test, the so-called EU Retest, must be conducted before imported products are certified.
