Welcome to the newly-designed GHTF website!

Over its 15-year existence, the GHTF has increasingly attracted the interest and involvement of regulatory authorities, regulated industry, NGOs and others from around the world to its important harmonization work.

This ever-expanding interest makes it imperative that as an organization, we do everything possible to make what we do transparent, accessible and usable.

To that end, thanks to the creativity and industriousness of the GHTF webmasters, Mr. Stefan Gagne and Captain Sylvia Tetzlaff from the U.S. Food and Administration, this website has been transformed into a highly informational, easy-to-navigate and multi-lingual resource.

I’m pleased to showcase this new website. Of course, with any new venture, there’s always room for improvement. So we welcome your reactions, comments and suggestions.

Thanks for visiting the GHTF website!

Larry G. Kessler, Sc.D.
