Understanding the Austrian Pharmaceutical Licensing Framework

The Austrian Medicines Act (Arzneimittelgesetz, AMG) governs the pharmaceutical sector, encompassing the manufacture, import, wholesale, and retail of medicinal products. The regulatory authority responsible for overseeing these activities is the Austrian Federal Office for Safety in Health Care (Bundesamt für Sicherheit im Gesundheitswesen, BASG).

Obtaining a pharmaceutical license in Austria necessitates strict adherence to specific guidelines and requirements. The type of license required depends on the specific activities the business intends to undertake. Some of the key license types include:

Manufacturing Authorization (Herstellerlaubnis): Required for the manufacture of medicinal products. This involves demonstrating compliance with Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP) standards.
Wholesale Authorization (Großhandelserlaubnis): Necessary for the wholesale distribution of medicinal products. This license ensures adherence to Good Distribution Practice (GDP) guidelines.
Import Authorization (Einfuhrerlaubnis): Essential for the import of medicinal products from outside the European Economic Area (EEA).
Retail Authorization (Apotheken- oder Einzelhandelsbewilligung): Required for the dispensing of medicinal products to the public.

Each license type involves a detailed application process, including the submission of comprehensive documentation and the demonstration of adherence to stringent quality control and safety standards.
