ASEAN ACTD Regulatory Software | NPRA Malaysia, BPOM & FDA Philippines RIM
Novaqis RIM streamlines pharmaceutical market authorizations across Southeast Asia by natively structuring ASEAN Common Technical Dossiers (ACTD Parts I–IV) for NPRA Malaysia, BPOM Indonesia, FDA Philippines, and TFDA Thailand. The system manages Zone IVb stability testing protocols, tracks localized labeling variations (Bahasa Melayu, Bahasa Indonesia, English, Thai), and provides automated 180/90/30-day renewal warnings for all ASEAN export licenses.

ASEAN / ACTD Compliance Mandate & Novaqis Solution
How Novaqis Regulatory Information Management (RIM) automates statutory compliance, dossier compilation, and packaging serialization for ASEAN Health Authorities.
| Compliance Dimension | ASEAN / ACTD Statutory Mandate | Novaqis Automated Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Dossier Structure (ACTD vs. ICH CTD) | Southeast Asian authorities mandate the 4-part ACTD structure (Part I: Administrative Data; Part II: Quality/CMC; Part III: Non-Clinical; Part IV: Clinical) rather than the 5-module ICH CTD. | Built-in ACTD master repository mapping Parts I–IV directly to approved laboratory test methods and DMS documentation, with one-click conversion to ICH CTD if cross-filing. |
| Zone IVb Stability Requirements | ASEAN authorities enforce strict real-time and accelerated stability studies conducted under Climatic Zone IVb conditions ($30^circ ext{C} pm 2^circ ext{C} / 75% pm 5% ext{ RH}$). | Native integration with Novaqis LIMS Stability Module: automatically pulls Zone IVb chamber pull-testing results into Part II.E Quality dossiers. |
| Country-Specific Packaging & Labeling | Requires regional packaging variations: Halal compliance notices where applicable, BPOM 2D QR authentication codes in Indonesia, and dual-language package inserts. | Die-line variation matrix managing country packaging variants linked to a single core formulation, with character-level diffing detecting localized text shifts. |
| Minor & Major Variations (MaV / MiV) | Post-approval manufacturing or labeling changes must be categorized and submitted as Major Variations (MaV), Minor Variations with Prior Approval (MiV-PA), or Notification (MiV-N). | Change Control regulatory assessment workflow classifying proposed changes into ASEAN MaV/MiV buckets and calculating regulatory impact across all registered territories. |

How Novaqis Solves ASEAN Regulatory Harmonization & Variations
While ASEAN guidelines harmonize registration principles, national authorities maintain distinct portal workflows and variation rules. Novaqis bridges regional harmonization with country execution.
Native ACTD Parts I–IV Template Engine
Create validated ACTD dossiers with automated document lifecycle operators (new, replace, append) linked directly to effective SOPs and test methods.
Zone IVb Stability Data Synchronization
Direct data pipeline between QC laboratory stability chambers in Novaqis LIMS and regulatory submission dossiers in Novaqis RIMS.
External In-Country Representative Portals
Collaborate with Marketing Authorization Holders (MAH) and local regulatory agents in Jakarta, Kuala Lumpur, and Manila with zero per-user seat fees.
