Thanks to ever expanding regulatory requirements handed down by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the European Medicines Agency (EMEA), and Japan’s Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare (MHLW), pharmaceutical companies are finding it increasingly difficult to pursue and compete in developing global markets. The EMEA alone requires labeling documents to be completed in 23 languages.

Challenges include revising production processes, satisfying evolving product labeling and instructions regulations, meeting industry standards and complying with new formatting requirements such as the FDA’s 21 CFR Part II governing electronic records and Structured Product Labeling (SPL), requiring labeling in XML format.

Companies must also contend with a broad range of language translation requirements.
