Under European post-marketing drug legislation it is a legal requirement to have a document produced – the Pharmacovigilance Systems Master File (PSMF).

This document covers the pharmacovigilance for all licensed products in the EU as well as any licences outside of the EU for the same product.

The document therefore covers pharmacovigilance that is global and not just confined to the EU.

This document covers activities related to pharmacovigilance which include Regulatory; Clinical; IT; QA and the Marketing Dept.

This document has also to be inspection ready and following the announcement of a Regulatory Inspection is the first document requested.
