Abstract
Since 2017, it has been mandatory for suppliers of APIs, excipients and packaging materials to register their material in China on the DMF registration platform. While many agencies ask for details of a component’s quality and its impact on products, the Chinese requirements for 'high risk' materials, such as those used in biopharmaceuticals, also ask for historical information that is typically proprietary which many suppliers are reluctant to share. This paper summarizes the requirements for raw materials in other ICH countries and compares these to the Chinese approach. The paper also lists all of the details needed for the Chinese registration of biopharmaceutical products' raw materials in a single place, to help suppliers register their products into this vast market.

Abstract
As the first regulatory authority in Latin America to gain full membership of the International Council for Harmonization (ICH), the Brazilian Health Regulatory Agency (ANVISA) asked BioPhorum to support review of its Post-Approval Change regulation to bring it in line with ICH, but also global WHO guidelines . Brazil’s stability and manufacturing data requirements typically delayed submission of post-approval changes by several months to years. The paper demonstrates how to align the national regulation with international standards, resulting in quicker submissions as well as a more efficient review process for the agency.
