What is ICH?
The International Conference on Harmonisation of Technical Requirements for Registration of Pharmaceuticals for Human Use (ICH) is unique in bringing together the regulatory authorities and pharmaceutical industry of Europe, Japan and the US to discuss scientific and technical aspects of drug registration.
The purpose is to make recommendations on ways to
achieve greater harmonisation in the interpretation and application
of technical guidelines and requirements for product registration,
in order to reduce or obviate the need to duplicate the testing carried
out during the research and development of new medicines. The objective
of such harmonisation is a more economical use of human, animal and
material resources, and the elimination of unnecessary delay in the
global development and availability of new medicines whilst maintaining
safeguards on quality, safety and efficacy, and regulatory obligations
to protect public health.
