International Recognition Procedure
From 1st January 2024, the MHRA will be introducing new International Recognition Procedures (IRP) for marketing authorisations in the UK for both new and generic medicines. These recognition procedures will absorb the existing EU recognition procedures; the EC Decision Reliance Procedure (ECDRP) and the Mutual Recognition/Decentralised Reliance Procedure (MRDCRP), as well as introduce new recognition procedures for medicines authorised by the MHRA’s specified Reference Regulators (RR).
