All pharmaceutical manufacturers and parallel distributors that hold marketing authorisations in Denmark (MAHs), and market products on the Danish market, are obliged to enter into a contract with DMVO. You can read more under the tab contract on this page.

In order to upload data to the verification system, manufacturers must have a contract with the European Medicines Verification Organisation, EMVO. EMVO is responsible for the European Hub, that helps to ensure the integration of the overall European verification system.

Pack data on medicines marketed in Denmark cannot be uploaded directly to DMVS, but through the European hub. You can read more about the procedures on EMVO’s website.

As MAH, you have a responsibility for ensuring a high quality of data uploaded to EMVS. Incorrect or missing data can complicate processes further down the supply chain. DMVO recommends that you are well acquainted with EMVO’s rules and recommendations on uploading data to EMVS.

When a batch is not uploaded to the European hub, pharmacies and hospital pharmacies cannot verify the packs and thus cannot dispense the medicine to patients. Therefore, as an MAH, you should always ensure that a batches is uploaded before packs are distributed.
