In the context of the project of the CEP of the future, the EDQM organized a wide public consultation with its stakeholders in late 2020. This was followed in 2022 by further targeted consultations in order to define the design of the CEP and discuss specific questions.
Based on the different feedback received during these consultations, the “Certification Steering Committee” of the EDQM made a decision on the new design of the CEP. The implementation is expected to take place in 2023 and will be relevant for CEP holders, CEP applicants and CEP users.
The changes linked to its implementation cover the following 9 areas:
Area 1: CEPs and information reported
Area 2: Changes regarding assessment of CEP applications
Area 3: Online public certification database
Area 4: Authorities Database
Area 5: Fostering information sharing between CEP holders & MAH
Area 6: Reduction of revisions of CEPs
Area 7: Impact of changes and their implementation
Area 8: Trainings for assessors, CEP holders and CEP users
Area 9: Revising documents available on the website
These changes are related to an update to the “look and feel” of the CEP, not the requirements for obtaining or maintaining a CEP.
