What is Common Technical Document?
The '''Common Technical Document''' ('''CTD''') is a set of rules for information to be supplied for the registration of medicines. It was made by the [[European Medicines Agency]], the [[Food and Drug Administration]] and the [[Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare]] (Japan) in 1989. It is now used in most of the world. It was adopted in Australia in 2004.<ref>{{Cite web|date=16 June 2014|title=Common Technical Document (CTD)|url=https://www.tga.gov.au/resources/resource/guidance/common-technical-document-ctd#:~:text=The%20Common%20Technical%20Document%20(CTD,for%20the%20registration%20of%20medicines.|access-date=5 August 2023|website=Department of Health and Aged Care|archive-date=5 August 2023|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230805100817/https://www.tga.gov.au/resources/resource/guidance/common-technical-document-ctd#:~:text=The%20Common%20Technical%20Document%20(CTD,for%20the%20registration%20of%20medicines.|url-status=dead}}</ref> It means that medicines can be traded across borders.
