Hi,

We use the service from the eMC to receive fortnightly updates of SPCs and we take the date in section 10 as the version date of the SPC (which would be different from the eMC date). I'm not sure why the Date of revision of text cannot be cused? That is the date the SPC has been approved by the Regulatory Agencies, therefore it should be reliable.
By the way, there are some delays in the data published by the eMC (a couple of weeks to a couple of months compared to the date in section 10), however we find it overall a reliable system and less time-consuming than checking each months for updates. However there is a cost associated with this service.
