Good Distribution Practice certificate for local dealers

Overview

Good Distribution Practice (GDP) certification is a voluntary scheme offered to local dealers of therapeutic products interested to be certified for conformity with relevant GDP standards by us. Interested parties may include third party logistics companies etc.

Good Distribution Practice audits

When your application is received, we will review your application to assess audit readiness before arranging for a GDP audit. A GDP certificate is issued when your company's quality system has been audited and found to comply with our Guidance Notes on Good Distribution Practice263 KB, and is valid for 3 years from the date of audit.

The certificate cannot be renewed or re-issued. Upon expiry, you will need to submit a new application if you are still interested in re-certification. GDP audits will apply.
