Article 20 of the Saudi Pharmaceutical Establishments Law

This article regulates the body that handles registering pharmaceutical and herbal product factories and their products:

• Forming committees: committees are formed for this purpose by decision of the President, meaning the Chief Executive Officer of the Authority.
• What is referred to the Regulations: the Implementing Regulations set the registration conditions, how the committees are formed and how they work.
• Remuneration: the committee members' remuneration is set by decision of the Board, meaning the Authority's Board of Directors.

Note that registration covers two things: the factories themselves and their products. The Law does not state the detailed registration conditions but leaves them to the Regulations, which anyone wanting to know them should consult. The text also separates two powers: forming the committees belongs to the Chief Executive Officer, and setting their members' remuneration belongs to the Authority's Board of Directors.

It is preceded by Article 19, which bars selling registered products except after the Authority prices them and in the packages it specifies, and followed by Article 21, which requires registered factories and the warehouses representing them to supply their registered products.
