For ease of reference, we have included in the tables below new terminology to describe variations, which are now ‘variations not requiring assessment (VNRA)’ and ‘variations requiring assessment (VRA)’.
We have updated the guidance Variations to a veterinary Marketing Authorisation or Homeopathic Remedy which explains these changes.
1. Single variation applications
The extension fee will continue to apply to these changes that are included in the list of Variations Requiring Assessment in published guidance.
Single applications are for one change per MA. However, a single change being made to the terms of several MAs that don’t meet the definition of a ‘product range’ will be applied for as separate applications, can be considered a ‘grouped’ variation for fee purposes.
