14th DIA Japan Annual Meeting 2017

The Japan labeling regulations has been amended for the first time in 20 years and will be implemented in 3 years, which means that each company needs to prepare labeling according to the new revision of the labeling regulations. In order to do so, various preparations including verification of rationale of the current items and review of the latest data may be needed. In this session, PMDA will provide details on not just the summary of the new revision of items to be included, but points to be practically considered from the standpoint of PMDA. Also, as we need to observe our reality, action items will be picked up from a corporate perspective and will be discussed. The best practices and challenges for revision of labeling should be shared and discussed. A speaker from multinational companies will describe points to be considered as foreign-based companies, especially how to proceed this project including the communication between HQ. In addition, a difference in approach between foreign-based companies and domestic HQ companies will be discussed.
