Non-eCTD Electronic Submissions (NeeS) – Overview
The Non-eCTD Electronic Submission (NeeS) format has been made mandatory in the European Union (EU) from 2003 onwards. When compared to the electronic common technical document (eCTD), the non-eCTD electronic submission or NeeS is different in terms of navigating structures. It does not use the XML backbone. It also differs from eCTD with two (02) relevant XML files, the index.xml, and the eu-regional.xml, for the backbone of Modules 2 to 5 and Module 1 for the EU, respectively. As per the country-specific guidelines, the Non-eCTD Electronic Submission (NeeS) is based on granular PDF files, electronic tables of contents, and electronic navigation.
