Amend a CTGTP dealer's licence

You must submit an amendment application for changes to your approved licence such as company or applicant details and scope of activities.

Amendment to company or applicant details

Please inform HSA by email at HSA_ALD_APPL@hsa.gov.sg if you have changes in the company’s Accounting and Corporate Regulatory Authority (ACRA) registered name and business address or applicant details. In addition, please use the e-service Change of Business Information to change company particulars such as company's ACRA registered name and business address, provided there is no change to the company's Unique Entity Number (UEN).  

The company’s UEN, as issued by ACRA, is used as the standard identification of a legal entity. For a change in UEN, the company is considered a new business entity. Licences or certificates issued to the company under the old UEN will not be valid anymore. The company will need to apply to HSA for a new CRIS account using the new UEN and thereafter submit new licence or certificate applications if the licence(s) or certificate(s) are required under the new business entity.

Amendment to licence details

An amendment application has to be submitted when there are changes to your approved licence details, such as for scope of activities and premises.

Importer's and wholesaler's licence

If you intend to change your importer's licence granted for full scope activities to one that is solely for restricted activities, or vice versa, you will need to cancel your existing licence and submit a new licence application.

Amendments requiring technical assessment 

Technical assessments, including site inspections, may be conducted by HSA for certain amendments such as those that would have direct impact on the product's quality. The following are examples of amendments that require technical assessment:

  • Inclusion of new warehouse or change in location or address of the current warehouse for the storage of CTGTP.
  • Inclusion of new storage conditions to the warehouse, such as cold chain storage.

Amendments not requiring technical assessment 

The following amendments do not require technical assessment:

  • Deletion of existing warehouse.
  • Addition or deletion of aspect of activities.
  • Addition or deletion of products (only for importer's licence).
  • Addition or deletion of Responsible Person.

Note: While these amendments generally do not require technical assessments, there may be cases where technical assessment is deemed necessary.

Manufacturer's licence

Amendments requiring technical assessment

Technical assessment, which may include site inspection, may be conducted by HSA for certain amendments such as those that would have direct impact on the product's quality.

Examples of amendments which require technical assessments:

  • Addition or amendment of manufacturing site address.

    • Your company may file for amendment application if there is addition or relocation of manufacturing activities within the approved building such as addition of unit or floor, or postal code.

Amendments not requiring technical assessment

Examples of amendments which do not require technical assessment:

  • Deletion of approved manufacturing operations (type of dosage form, type of CTGTP manufactured).

  • Amendment of responsible person for production or quality operations.

Note: While these amendments generally do not require technical assessments, there may be cases where technical assessment is deemed necessary.
