Founders heard “NMPA dropped raw-material safety codes.” That is half a sentence. The other half is: you keep the evidence on site. Pair No. 70 with No. 59 if you also have an NCI in flight.
China Announcement No. 70: less portal typing, more archive duty
Owner takeaway
Treat No. 70 as a process redesign, not a holiday.
Someone inside the company now owns the raw-material archive.
Similar-formula evidence sharing can save a quarter — only if RA can defend “similar”.
China-first launch language is a commercial option, not a duty.
Why this now
No. 70 and its interpretation landed 29 July 2026.
Who is affected
China filers/registrants and their RPs; suppliers who used to run the code workflow.
What to do
Monitor
Watch technical guidelines that define “similar formula system”.
Prepare
Write an archive SOP that a provincial inspector can follow without you in the room.
Act
Stop deleting supplier safety files because the portal field disappeared.
