About ICH

The International Council for Harmonisation of Technical Requirements for Pharmaceuticals for Human Use(ICH) brings together regulatory authorities and the pharmaceutical industry to discuss the scientific and technical aspects of pharmaceutical development.

Through working groups of regulatory and industry experts, ICH produces harmonised technical requirements to ensure the development and registration of safe, effective and high-quality medicines for human use. Guidelines are developed through scientific consensus with public consultation. ICH also produces a standardised reference tool for medical terminology (MedDRA) and electronic standards for the transfer of regulatory information (ESTRI).

Since it was created in 1990, ICH has finalised nearly 80 Guidelines that are increasingly applied by regulatory authorities around the world. ICH has 23 Members, 41 Observers and a network of nearly 700 experts globally. ICH was registered as a non-profit legal entity under Swiss law in 2015.
