The year 2005 marked the formal introduction of XML into the labeling process.

In the EU the EMEA European Agency for the Evaluation of Medicinal Products is accepting PIM (Product Information Management) compliant documents. Applicants will no longer submit paper or Word documents for product information.

In the US the FDA (Food and Drug Administration) is now accepting SPL (Structured Product Labeling) submissions in XML. In order to gain regulatory approval, SPLs have to be submitted in an XML format specified by the HL7 SPL working group.
