SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: I. Background In recent years, regulatory authorities and industry associations from around VerDate Sep<11>2014 17:44 Apr 19, 2018 Jkt 244001 the world have participated in many important initiatives to promote international harmonization of regulatory requirements under ICH. FDA has participated in several ICH meetings designed to enhance harmonization, and FDA is committed to seeking scientifically based harmonized technical procedures for pharmaceutical development. One of the goals of harmonization is to identify and reduce differences in technical requirements for drug development among regulatory agencies. ICH was established to provide an opportunity for harmonization initiatives to be developed with input from both regulatory and industry representatives. FDA also seeks input from consumer representatives and others. ICH is concerned with harmonization of technical requirements for the registration of pharmaceutical products for human use among regulators around the world. The six founding members of ICH are the European Commission; the European Federation of Pharmaceutical Industries Associations; FDA; the Japanese Ministry of Health, Labour, and Welfare; the Japanese Pharmaceutical Manufacturers Association; and the Pharmaceutical Research and Manufacturers of America. The Standing Members of the ICH Association also include Health Canada and Swissmedic. Any party eligible as a Member in accordance with the ICH Articles of Association can apply for membership in writing to the ICH Secretariat. The ICH Secretariat, which coordinates the preparation of documentation, operates as an international nonprofit organization and is funded by the Members of the ICH Association. The ICH Assembly is the overarching body of the Association and includes representatives from each ICH member and observer. The Assembly is responsible for the endorsement of draft guidelines and adoption of final guidelines. FDA publishes ICH guidelines as FDA guidance. A final draft of the guidance was submitted to the ICH Assembly and endorsed by the regulatory agencies in June 2015. The guidance provides clarification on the implementation of good manufacturing practices for APIs, as described in ICH Q7. This guidance is being issued consistent with FDA’s good guidance practices regulation (21 CFR 10.115). The guidance represents the current thinking of FDA on ‘‘Q7 Good Manufacturing Practice Guidance for Active Pharmaceutical Ingredients: Questions and Answers.’’ It does not PO 00000 Frm 00038 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 17557 establish any rights for any person and is not binding on FDA or the public.
