Since 1 July 2015, the EU GDP guidelines do also apply for Switzerland (final implementation on January 1st 2016). This was realised through an adaptation of Annex 2 of Ordinance on EstablishmentLicences(Arzneimittel-Bewilligungsverordnung - AMBV or Ordonnance sur les autorisations dans le domaine des médicaments - OAMéd).
On 1 January 2019, the revised Therapeutic Products Act (HMG 2) and the majority of the revised implementing ordinances (Therapeutic Products Ordinance Package IV) came into force - with some interesting changes.
Holders of an operating license for wholesale activities are obliged to designate a Responsible Person (“Fachtechnisch Verantwortliche Person, FvP)”.
The requirements for a Responsible Person are described in the Ordinance on Establishment Licences.
