For testing and EU retesting

From method transfer to the released batch.

For medicinal products from third countries, EU law generally requires full testing of each batch in the EU before a Qualified Person certifies it. In Itzehoe, both happen side by side: the analytics in our own laboratory and the release. That saves handovers and time. 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.
