PIL Testing

TRAC has provided effective PIL User Testing to clients since 2006. Our track record speaks for itself – with a 100% approval rate. We work with well respected companies within the pharmaceutical industry, who come back to us time after time, confident that we will always deliver the high quality of service we promise from the outset.

User Testing (or Readability Tests) has been a mandatory requirement within the EU since 2005 (Directive 2004/27/EC). Its aim is to improve the understanding and safety standards of patient information leaflets by reflecting within them, the results of consultations with target patient groups.
