For testing and EU retesting

From method transfer to released batch.

For medicinal products from third countries, EU law generally requires full testing of every batch in the EU before a Qualified Person certifies it. In Itzehoe, both happen in one place: testing in our own laboratory and batch release. That means fewer handovers and less time lost. Exceptions apply to products from countries with a mutual recognition agreement (MRA) that covers them, for example Switzerland, the USA, Canada or Israel. There is no such agreement with India, China, Turkey or Taiwan.
