Application submission and screening

Understand how to submit a registration application and what happens during application screening.

Submission requirements

Application dossier

You must submit the application dossier within 2 working days of the application and organise it in either an International Council for Harmonisation Common Technical Document (ICH CTD) or ASEAN CTD (ACTD) format. You need to submit all documents in English.

Your application dossier must be submitted to us in a CD/DVD labelled with the following information:

  • Product name.
  • Application type.
  • Contents of the CD/DVD (e.g. Module 1).

Application checklists

Each application must be accompanied by an application checklist, completed by the applicant and attached in the online application form.

Use one of the following application checklists based on your choice of CTD format. Each checklist provides details on the specific documents that need to be submitted with your application.

Note: Your choice of CTD  format submitted for NDA will determine the submission format for the rest of your product life cycle. This means that future applications for changes to your registered product (variation application) will have to be in the same CTD format.

How to apply

Application screening

Application screening involves us checking to ensure the application type is correct and that the dossier is complete. The screening timeline starts from the date of receipt of the application dossier.

Screening will not be done if:

If the dossier submitted is incomplete, an input request stating the deficiencies will be issued to you. The stop-clock starts when the input request is sent and ends upon receipt of a complete and satisfactory response to the query. The total number of input requests sent during screening is capped at two. You will be given 20 working days to respond to each input request, starting from the date it was sent.

The application will only be accepted when all deficiencies have been adequately addressed and HSA is satisfied that the dossier is complete for evaluation.  An acceptance notice will then be issued and the date of acceptance of the application will be taken as the start of the evaluation timeline.

Failure to address the deficiencies raised during screening will render the dossier incomplete for evaluation. An input request will be issued to you to withdraw the application. If the application is subsequently re-submitted, it will be processed as a new application.
