ESG Appendix F: AS2 Header Attributes

ESG User Guide - Table of Contents

In order to communicate the filename to the FDA, the FDA requires the FileName Preserve on all AS2 submissions. In addition to tarring/gzipping the actual documents, AS2 submissions must include the following attributes in their AS2 headers. The additional information is comprised of:

  • FDA submissions Type
    • FdaSubmissionType: Abbreviated New Drug (add submission type information)
      • Center Name-

        The Mime Headers are to be located in the outermost MIME wrapper and will appear as follows:

        The following example represents how the standard AS2 mime header should appear after appending the Center and Submission Type attributes and upon and presented at the FDA ESG.

        This information must be included in the outermost portion of the outermost MIME wrapper.

        The table below indicates the allowable attribute values for each FDA Center destination:

        Table F-1: Allowable Center Attribute Values

        Legend:
        (A) denotes AS2 only.
        (W) denotes WebTrader only.
        (P) denotes Production environment only.
        (T) denotes Test environment only.
        (NGP) denotes Not for General Public.
        (*) CDRH's only eligible submission categories via the FDA ESG CDRH "Electronic_Submissions" submission type are "Recall Reports of Corrections and Removals" and "Radiological Health Reports and Correspondence". Further, CDRH Premarket submissions should be sent via the CDRH Customer Collaboration Portal.
        Note: If a WebTrader Display Name or an AS2 Submission Type does not have either the (P) or (T) annotation, then it is allowed in both Production and Test.
        Note: If an item does not have the (W) or (A) annotation, then it is allowed in both WebTrader and AS2.
