Instructions for use of public data registers and webservices

The Federal Office for Safety in Health Care provids on this website and via its webservices information on medicinal products, the completion of procedures and votes of the Federal Office for Safety in Health Care that were compiled with great care.

Despite the greatest possible care, errors cannot be completely excluded. If, for example, there are contradictions with regard to the technical or directions for use enclosed with the medicinal product and information on the pages of the Federal Office for Safety in Health Care, the content of the respective technical or directions for use shall apply.

For legally binding information, please contact us at basg@basg.gv.at The Federal Office for Safety in Health Care therefore assumes no liability for the accuracy, completeness and timeliness of the content, in particular no liability is assumed for any direct or indirect damage caused by the direct or indirect use of the offered content. In the event of loss of use of the website or the webservices due to technical or organisational problems, no claims whatsoever against the Federal Office for Safety in Health Care. If you download, receive and further use the offered data and contents, then these may not be changed contentwise and the further use takes place on own risk.

Information on the availability of medicinal products:

It should also be noted that the Medicinal product index only reflects the approval status of a medicinal product; it depends on other factors outside the scope of the BASG whether the medicinal product is actually marketed in Austria. In this context, please also note our information on the availability of medicines.

Terms of use for eServices

The terms of use consist of the valid submission ordinance of the Federal Office for Safety in Health Care and the provisions listed below.

It should be noted that each eligible applicant only has to register once. This is because the initial registration as a user contains a so-called 'administrator authorization'. In order to obtain this authorisation, a letter of authorisation (LoA) from the management is required. In addition, a currently valid excerpt from the company register (or a corresponding foreign equivalent) must be provided.

Administrators can grant (administrator) rights to other persons in their area of responsibility, make changes to these rights or withdraw them again. The administrator creates additional users. The administrator agrees that his contact information will be shared for this purpose. If other users are granted rights by the administrator, the same duties of care with regard to user identification and the personal password apply to these authorised persons as apply to the administrator himself.

If an organization that has already been created applies for another registration, the administrator of the organization that has already been created will be informed.

The user identification and the personal password must be stored carefully to prevent unauthorized access by third parties. The administrator will be notified of any changes to the terms of use by e-mail.
