    Hello Everyone,

    In 2015 the European Union (EU) published Guideline 2015/C 95/02 on the formalized risk assessment of excipients. This EU Guideline requires "manufacturing authorization holders" (MAHs) to assess the risk of each excipient.

    • Is a "manufacturing authorization holder" the same as a "marketing authorization holder", i.e., the license holder of a product?
    • Are these descriptions used interchangeably to describe the same entity?
    • Also if a Contract Manufacturing Organization is not the license holder for a finished drug product, is that CMO responsible for implementing this guidance or is it only the responsibility of the license holder?"

     Thank you for the help!

    Marketing/manufacturing authorization holders = Application License Holder.

    Its the License holder's ultimate responsibility to risk assess the excipient, although they may assign this task to a CMO or any service provider! 

    Hope this helps!
    Note: Same in the US
