Preparing for ISO IDMP Compliance. Upgrading RIMS to Meet Evolving Regulatory Requirements
Introduction: The Evolving Regulatory Landscape
In today’s fast-paced pharmaceutical and life sciences industries, regulatory compliance is more complex and data-intensive than ever before. One of the most significant transformations is the global adoption of ISO Identification of Medicinal Products (IDMP) standards. Designed to improve the identification, exchange, and safety of medicinal products, these standards are reshaping how companies manage regulatory information.
To stay compliant and competitive, companies must ensure their Regulatory Information Management Systems (RIMS) are equipped to handle IDMP’s stringent data requirements. Sarjen Systems’ RIMS is a comprehensive solution designed to help organizations navigate this shift seamlessly.
Understanding ISO IDMP Standards
The ISO IDMP framework consists of five core standards (ISO 11615, 11616, 11238, 11239, and 11240), covering everything from product identification to packaging and substance data. These standards are aimed at:
- Improving patient safety by enhancing product traceability.
- Facilitating global data exchange between regulatory authorities.
- Streamlining pharmacovigilance for faster response to safety issues.
Regulatory authorities like the European Medicines Agency (EMA) and U.S. FDA are adopting these standards, making IDMP compliance a must for global pharmaceutical companies.
The Role of RIMS in Achieving IDMP Compliance
Traditional RIMS solutions may not be equipped to handle the evolving data structures and workflows required for IDMP compliance. Upgrading to an IDMP-ready RIMS is critical to:
- Centralize regulatory data for easier retrieval and submission.
- Ensure data consistency across various regulatory agencies.
- Automate reporting and tracking to reduce manual errors.
- Simplify product lifecycle management, from development to post-marketing.
