HL7 SPL Working Group
Electronic Drug Registration and Listing Meetings
Wednesday, February 20, 2008 (Webinar)
Wednesday, February 27, 2008 (face-to-face Rockville, MD)

Two training sessions are being offered to individuals responsible for the preparation and submission of drug registration and listing information to the FDA.

Background: The FDA Amendments Act placed into law the requirement for electronic establishment registration and drug listing. Release 4 of Structured Product Labeling (SPL) contains data elements that could enable this process. A face-to-face meeting will provide training on SPL release 4 and its potential for meeting the recent changes to the establishment registration and drug listing requirements. A preparatory webinar is also being offered to those planning on attending the face-to-face meeting. The webinar will provide an overview of basics of SPL and an introduction to registration and listing changes. The face-to-face discussion will provide a more in-depth review of specific proposed changes to SPL including new terminologies.

Targeted audience: Individuals responsible for establishment registration and drug listing for pharmaceutical, biologic, OTC and animal products are strongly encouraged to attend.

1. SPL Release Four Evaluation Material for Registration and Listing Version 0.2
