Examples - Type 13 - Item 14 (Vet) - Scenario 1

Scenario 1: Variation to the in-use shelf life of a registered veterinary product (e-label required)

Objective

Application is made to extend the in-use shelf life (ie the shelf life of the product after first broaching the container) of an injectable antibiotic from seven to 28 days.

The applicant has undertaken in-use stability trials demonstrating that the product continues to meet the product specifications for up to 28 days after broaching.

Application type

This application is considered under a technical variation (Item 14) as evidence is needed to demonstrate that the proposed new shelf life for the product does not impact the safety (Section 5A), efficacy (Section 5B) and trade (Section 5C) criteria.

An updated label reflecting the change in storage details must be included in the application.

The following table examines each assessment module and provides an explanation of what modular assessments, levels, timeframe and associated fees are likely to apply to this extension. Modules 1, 11 and 12 are mandatory modules for this application. Considerations are necessary for this extension for Modules 2–10.
