On 1 September 2023, the European Directorate for the Quality of Medicines & Healthcare (EDQM) implemented the CEP 2.0. As of this date, certificates of suitability (CEPs) are issued as PDF certificates that contain an electronic signature. Certain letters and the Attestation of Inspection created as part of the CEP procedure will also carry an electronic signature. It should be noted that the EDQM’s electronic certificates and electronic signature have been tested using Adobe Acrobat Reader and some electronic signature features may not be available with other PDF readers.
