# Working with CN Regulatory Submissions (RIM)

When working with Chinese regulatory submissions, Submissions Publishing allows you to generate CN eCTD XSD 1.1 compliant XMLs for submission to the National Medical Products Administration (NMPA). Vault can validate these submissions in accordance with the CN NMPA 1.1 Validation Criteria Version.

##  Creating Content Plan Templates for Chinese Submissions

When you create a content plan template for Chinese submissions, you can use the _Language for Submission_, _Lead Market Country_, and _Region_ fields to ensure that the content plan sections include content plan items for both Chinese language documents and foreign reference materials.

To do this, follow the instructions to <a href="/en/gr/37474/#templates">create a content plan template</a>.

When you create _Content Plan Item Template_ records, populate the _Region_ and _Lead Market Country_ fields to specify that these records only apply to Chinese submissions. This will ensure that the content plan contains content plan items that are specific to the region or lead market of the submission.

## About Foreign Reference Materials

If your submission includes any documents that have been translated to Chinese, you must also include the original document. These documents are called _Foreign Reference Materials_. As you compile Chinese submissions, ensure that the _Language for Submission_ field is set on any _Content Plan Item_ records matched to foreign reference material documents. Note that updating the _Language_ field on any published _Content Plan Item_ records triggers continuous publishing, if enabled.

## About Node Extensions & Study Tagging Files

The Chinese eCTD specification supports Study Tagging Files (STFs) and allows node extension use for biologics within Section 3.2.R.
