ACCESS REQUEST VERIFICATION BY BeMVO – CONTRACTUAL part
LEGITIMACY CHECK
The first action performed by BeMVO on reception of the Access Request form for an End User Location is the Legitimacy Check. This step is critical to be compliant with article 37(b) of the Delegated Regulation.
The acceptance of an End User to get access to the Verification System is based on the definition of the End User categories (see ‘Who are the End Users’) and the underlying official sources.
Public Pharmacies Belgium
To receive access, the Public pharmacy must be listed in the official list of pharmacies available on the FAGG/AFMPS website :
https://www.fagg.be/nl/MENSELIJK_gebruik/geneesmiddelen/geneesmiddelen/distributie_aflevering/officina
https://www.afmps.be/fr/humain/medicaments/medicaments/distribution/pharmacies_ouvertes_au_public
Any pharmacy requiring access to the Verification System must make sure that his information in this FAGG/AFMPS file is correct (if not, access will be refused).
The legally responsible person that needs to provide the access request and agree on the NMVS Access Policy is the person representing the ‘Exploitant/Uitbater’ in this file.
It is therefor extremely important that End Users requesting access first verifies if the information in the FAGG/AFMPS file is correct.
The legitimacy of the companies with an authorisation of preparation (bereidingsvergunning / authorisation de préparation) is verified against the list of these companies also published on the FAGG/AFMPS website:
https://www.fagg.be/nl/MENSELIJK_gebruik/geneesmiddelen/geneesmiddelen/vergunningen/bereidingsvergunning https://www.afmps.be/fr/humain/medicaments/medicaments/autorisations/autorisation_de_preparation
It is clear that if a company in this list is considering that his activity or the products they are preparing are not in scope for FMD, they do not need to request access.

- The NMVS Access Policy was accepted on line or a signed scan was received
then BeMVO will approve the access request and inform the End User, i.e. the legally responsible person, of the approval. In case of an external software provider, this provider will also be informed about the End User’s access request.
In the other case, the End User will be informed about the refusal.
