Type of submission

For the addition of new IVD categories the application process has two phases: pre-submission and full submission. For the pre-submission phase, applicants will be required to submit basic information to allow the EDL Secretariat in collaboration with WHO disease programmes to determine suitability for full submission. Successful applicants will be invited to submit a full submission with more detailed information, including all the evidence necessary to support inclusion of the new test category. The other types of applications consist of a single-phase submission process.
