About ICH
The success of the International Conference on Harmonisation of Technical Requirements for Registration of Pharmaceuticals for Human Use (ICH) is largely due to its unique model that brings together regulatory authorities and pharmaceutical industry from Europe, Japan and the US to discuss scientific and technical aspects. Since its launch in 1990, ICH has evolved and responded to the increasing globalisation of pharmaceutical development and the need for international regulators outside the initial 3 regions to work together to respond to these new challenges. Following the reforms, ICH has become "the International Council for Harmonisation of Technical Requirements for Pharmaceuticals for Human Use" and established as an international non-profit Association under Swiss law on 23 October 2015" The reforms mean that ICH becomes a truly global initiative, expanding beyond the current ICH members. Regulatory authorities and international pharmaceutical industry organisations that are affected by ICH guidelines may apply to become Members or Observers of the Association.
