Search for Manufacturing and Importation Authorisation documents

This task topic is intended to detail the process of searching for Manufacturing and Importation Authorisation documents as both a registered and unregistered user.

To search the MIA Database

Prerequisites for performing a MIA Registration
The following prerequisites apply :

The Search function allows all users to find submitted MIA documents on the EudraGMPD database and review, save or print them.

Note: The Search function only searches for successfully submitted certificates. If you are a registered user (i.e. you log on through SSO) you can also search for draft MIAs.

  1. Click Search MIA in the MIA Menu (as illustrated above) and the MIA Search screen is displayed:

Note: Except for the Country field, and D-U-N-S Number (which must be entered in full), all search fields can be entered with an asterisk ("*") for a wildcard search. Alternatively, place an asterisk either side of a search term if you aren’t sure of the value you are looking for. For the fastest response in any search, only use the asterisk AFTER a search term. Each field will take only one search term.

  1. Enter your search criteria into the entry fields. Include as much information as you wish, though you must include the Country in which the MIA was issued. To include withdrawn MIAs in your search, click the checkbox beside ‘Include Withdrawn MIAs’.

Note: This retrieves any MIA that contains any of the selected operations. It uses OR rather than AND to join the criteria together, so the more operations selected the more MIAs will be returned.

Search Tips: If you include no details,  ALL documents within the selected country are returned, so this is the widest possible search.

•Search terms may be one character long, if you include an asterisk before or after the character. See the tip below for usage of the asterisk.

•Enter ‘*Inc.’ in the Name entry field to give results of all manufacturers names that end with ‘Inc.’

•Enter ‘Pharmaco*’ in the Name entry field to deliver results of all manufacturers names that begin with ‘Pharmaco’.

•To search for all a company’s MIA documents worldwide, select [--All Countries--] from the Country drop-down. If you only want to search for those within the European Union, select [--EU--].

The above search methodology also works with numbers, letters and symbols.

  1. Enter the details of the MIA you are searching for and click Search. If you have no information, click Search to return all MIA documents in the database.

  2. Check 'Include Withdrawn MIA' and 'Include Suspended MIA' options at the foot of the page for a more comprehensive search.

  3. The MIA Search Results is displayed:




    You can sort these results using the ‘sort by’ dynamic function buttons , and .
  4. Clicking the last icon on the top of the screen to save the entire search results in an Excel spreadsheet.

Note: Confidential MIAs are denoted by a dark grey background.
