Deployment of the EU Hub Release 1.16 and downtime in the EU Hub production environment on Saturday January 25th, 2025

Please be informed that there is a downtime window starting at approx. 09:00 CET on 25th January and ending at approx. 23:00 CET on 25th January in the production environment of the European central repository (EU Hub) due to the deployment of the EU Hub Release 1.16.

OBPs may experience problems concerning e.g. the upload of product master data and product pack data. Finnish end users may experience problems when verifying and decommissioning packs belonging to batches for which the data has not been uploaded in FiMVS.

We would like to remind OBPs that additional existing fields in the Product Master Data (PMD) and Product Pack Data (PPD) will be made mandatory with the deployment of the EU Hub Release 1.16 in the PRD Environment. Consequently, in case an OBP fail to fill in properly the indicated mandatory fields (as of 25 January 2025), the OBP will be unable to upload the data to the EU Hub.

Please note that uploading the required information into the EU Hub before the medicinal product is released for sale or distribution, is a requirement set out in the Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) 2016/161 (see Art 33).

OBPs can contact EMVO Helpdesk for more information if needed: helpdesk@emvo-medicines.eu.

We apologize for any inconvenience caused.
