The following page will show you how to request a change request variation for an existing registration.
In order to change information in an approved registration you will need to create and submit a variation. There are two variation types; you can select to create a “Change Request” or “Add a model to a Family of Models” depending upon your requirements.
A change request variation allows you to edit basic information on the approved registration – for example, contact details, the date of availability of the product and the website. There is no fee for a change request variation.
You can submit as many variations as you need but only one variation can be active at a time for each registration. If a record has a current variation in progress you will see a “Go to Current Variation #” in the Actions box on the right hand side. You will also see a “Variations” tab that displays the history of all variations for that Registration (see Figure 1 below).
If you no longer wish to complete a variation of a record you can select the “Discard Variation” button from the Actions box on the right hand side. You will also need to confirm that you want to discard the variation on the pop-up box as shown in Figure 2 below.
Change of technical specifications
If a product whose registration you are seeking to vary has new
technical specifications, you will need to complete a new
registration, as the change of technical specifications makes it a
separate model under the GEMS Act. The system will ask you for a
reason that the model number is a duplicate of a current
registration – simply choose “Product Update” from the drop down
menu.
