    MAH Service – Marketing Authorisation Holder shouldering responsibility

    The term Marketing Authorisation Holder (MAH) refers to a company or legal entity holding the authorization to market a medicinal product within one, several, or all European Union (EU) Member States. The MAH is responsible for ensuring that all requirements and regulations outlined by EU legislation and guidelines are fully met. This includes several critical obligations, such as:

    • Ensuring that medicinal products are manufactured in compliance with Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP),
    • Overview of the supply chain,
    • Investigating complaints and resolving quality issues,
    • Managing pharmacovigilance activities.
    Two hands from different people exchanging keys labeled 'MAH service,' symbolizing the transfer of Marketing Authorisation Holder responsibilities. This represents entrusting regulatory compliance, product safety, and oversight, much like handing over house keys to SciencePharma, an expert in managing these tasks. SciencePharma’s MAH service ensures full EU compliance, overseeing GMP compliance, pharmacovigilance, and supply chain management, allowing companies to focus on their core business while maintaining high standards of medicinal product safety and quality

    Although certain tasks can be delegated to third parties, the MAH ultimately retains full responsibility for the product’s compliance and safety.

    At SciencePharma we offer a comprehensive range of regulatory services, including acting as the Marketing Authorisation Holder for your medicinal products. By partnering with us, under MAH service, you can transfer the responsibilities of the MAH role to SciencePharma. We will manage and fulfil all duties associated with this critical role, ensuring compliance with EU regulations and maintaining the highest standards of product oversight.

    Who can benefit from our MAH service?

    Our MAH service is designed for companies or entities that either prefer not to or are unable to take on the responsibilities of a Marketing Authorisation Holder themselves. Outsourcing these responsibilities under our MAH service can be particularly beneficial in situations such as:

    • Companies interested in applying for a Marketing Authorisation (MA): SciencePharma supports companies in registration procedure under national procedure, the decentralized procedure (DCP), or the mutual recognition procedure (MRP), while acting as the MAH,
    • Non-EU manufacturers of medicinal products: We provide MAH service for manufacturers outside the EU seeking to market medicinal products in European Union (including manufacturers from third countries),
    • Assistance in commercial transactions: We provide support during the confidential sale or acquisition of Marketing Authorisations (MA) for each medicinal product, their dossiers or in any other case, when your company requires a representative MAH under our name.

    How does cooperation with SciencePharma’s MAH service work?

    While being an MAH carries significant responsibility, our streamlined cooperation model ensures a smooth process:

    1. Contact us with us with a request for MAH service.
    2. Submit your registration documentation, especially Module 3 (we can assist with preparation if needed).
    3. We will collaboratively define the scope of cooperation, representation and related obligations, as well as establish timelines for the MAH service, culminating in the contract.

    Comprehensive support throughout the entire medicinal product registration process

    Depending on your needs, we can also manage additional shouldering responsibilities, such as providing Qualified Person (QP service).
