NOM-012

Mexico's official standard for pharmacovigilance, including safety reporting in Spanish.

What it means

NOM-012 (Norma Oficial Mexicana) sets the requirements for pharmacovigilance in Mexico. It includes standards for collecting, reporting, and documenting adverse events and safety data. Spanish translations of SAE/SUSAR narratives and safety updates must align with NOM-012 terminology.

Why it matters for LATAM submissions

Pharmacovigilance documents are subject to both regulatory review and audit. NOM-012-aligned Spanish reduces the risk of safety-report queries and inspection findings.
