Resource Profile: 01 EU EPI Bundle

This profile represents the constraints applied to the Bundle resource used in ePI, as defined by the EU ePI Common Standard. ePI is composed of multiple documents (summary of product characteristics, package leaflet, etc.). Each document is represented by a Bundle with type=document.

This profile represents the constraints applied to the Bundle resource used to create an Electronic Product Information (EPI) document.

Usage:

• Examples for this Resource Profile: Bundle/b99c95f8-bb0b-ef11-9f8a-000d3aa845fb
