The eSubmission Gateway Web Client is an electronic submission channel that allows the applicants to submit documents supporting all types of
applications to the Agency securely over the internet in any electronic format (structured or non-structured). The eSubmission Gateway Web Client users
will benefit from an automated confirmation of the technical validation feedback (eCTD only) and an automated upload to the Agency’s eCTD
review system. The use of the eSubmission Gateway and the Web Client is mandatory for all human and veterinary submissions, including medical
devices.

The various steps that need to be completed in the Web Client submission process are outlined below.

Please note that you will only be able to send submissions via the Web Client if you have successfully registered and received email
confirmation with your login details.

1. Preparing your system


a) Please check the version of Java installed on the machine you will be sending the package from. Ensure that you have the latest version of Java
installed (version 1.8 or later) and that you are using a 32bit version of Java. Some issues have been experienced during testing when 64bit version of
Java 1.8 was used.

Please note that Mozilla Firefox and Google Chrome are not compatible with the large file applet (due to Java compatibility issues). In order to send
submissions larger than 40mb you must use IE (internet explorer).

We recommend to always use the large file applet to ensure that you will receive both receipt and the acknowledgement confirming the receipt of the
submission (or rejection) by the EMA.

b) To enable sending of larger files if you have a Java warning message shown on the screen

EMA/737304/2012 Page 3/17


Or if you have an incorrect file selection dialogue box using IE.

EMA/737304/2012 Page 4/17


c) Please open the browser ‘compatibility settings’ and add ‘europa.eu’ on the Compatibility View (in order to send submissions above 40mb you must
use the large file applet with the java browse window). Please note that you can only see the Java selection window when you are using correct version
of Java and have enabled the compatibility view (in IE).

d) The java warning message should disappear after a short while (this may take slightly longer first time). Once this warning message has disappeared,
you will be able to continue to ‘send documents’

EMA/737304/2012 Page 5/17


e) When the ‘Send documents’ window first opens you will see this window. Please wait a text ‘Enter a path to a file or a directory. If a directory is
entered, then the entire contents of the directory will be included in the submission.’ to appear under the 2) Add documents section (this will enable the
large file applet allowing submission of larger packages)

f) Once the message is visible, you are now able to open the Java pop up window to select the submission package.

g) The Java window must be used in order to send submissions larger than 40mb. This is only possible using IE.
