Background
VICH (the International Cooperation on Harmonisation of Technical Requirements for Registration of Veterinary Medicinal Products Program – see http://www.vichsec.org/), is aimed at harmonising technical requirements for veterinary product registration and was launched in Paris in April 1996 as a cooperative effort between members of the regulatory authorities and the veterinary chemical industry from the European Union, U S A, and Japan.
VICH draws on the experience of the human pharmaceutical harmonisation initiative, ICH. The regulatory authorities of Australia and New Zealand have observer status on the VICH Steering Committee. The APVMA adopts VICH guidelines where it is possible and appropriate to do so.
