With regards to investigational medicinal products for human use, as well as the requirements for authorisation of the manufacturing or importation of such products. The Commission Directive is referred to as the GCP Directive and has to be incorporated into national legislation and become law in each Member State (MS).


The course also includes information on the UK-specific requirements as a result of the incorporation of this Directive into UK law under SI 1928.
