- Submissions properly dated in the format Day/Month/Year (European Format).
- Dates to correctly reflect date form was signed, consequently back-dating and post-dating is prohibited.
- Signatures & dates to be contained within the designated section on the Signature and/or Consent pages.
- Clear, clean submissions acceptable, barcodes and signatories etc must be legible. pages must be fully viewable as they are statutory forms and are a matter of public record and anyone with a visual impairment may not be able to see the signature/date.
- Pages should be scanned to portrait alignment at 100% size [downsizing reduces quality of the scan] and the full version of both pages MUST be fully viewable.
- The CRO is experiencing some issues with incorrectly signed and dated form B10s, which is resulting in an increasing number of these forms being returned
- Submissions can be rejected if they do not meet the above criteria. If a submission is rejected, then a new submission must be prepared.
