- Article 8(3) for New Chemical Entity (NCE)
- Article 10 for generic, hybrid and similar biological medicinal products
- Article 10(1) Generic Application
- Article 10(3) Hybrid Application
- Article 10(4) Similar Biological Application
- Article 10a of Directive 2001/83/EC for well-established use supported by bibliographic literature
- Article 10b of Directive 2001/83/EC for new fixed combination of active substances in a medicinal product
