The role of the RPi is described in regulations 45AA & 45AB of the Human Medicines Regulations 2012 (as amended). The draft legislation is live but not yet approved by the Houses of Parliament.
The RPi will be responsible for implementing and ensuring the effectiveness of a system to confirm that the required QP certification has taken place for products that have been imported into the UK from countries on a list that will be maintained by the MHRA. The RPi must ensure that written evidence is available to demonstrate that each batch of product has been certified in accordance with Article 51 of Directive 2001/83/EC.
