Two new VICH guidelines released for comment

A program aimed at harmonising technical requirements for veterinary product registration was officially 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. The program is the International Cooperation on Harmonisation of Technical Requirements for Registration of Veterinary Medicinal Products (also known as VICH), which has drawn 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.
VICH has finalised two new guidelines. The guidelines may be seen on the VICH website and are:

VICH GL36 - Studies to evaluate the safety of residues of veterinary drugs in human food: General approach to establish a microbiological ADI
VICH GL37 - Studies to evaluate the safety of residues of veterniary drugs in human food: Repeat-dose chronic toxicity testing

The APVMA proposes to adopt these guidelines after a period of public comment. Draft guidelines for immunobiological products.
The APVMA has significantly revised the three guidelines which relate to veterinary immunobiological products. The APVMA seeks comment on the guidelines prior to adopting them in July 2006.
