Four Steps on How to Choose

  • Check the expiry and scope of the WHO-GMP certificate

    Ask for the original WHO-GMP certificate PDF. Check date of issue, expiry and scope – ensure it covers your required dosage form and therapeutic category.

  • Check DCGI approval at molecule level The facility is WHO-GMP certified

    Each molecule and dosage form is approved specifically by the DCGI. Both are needed for legal commercial manufacture and export.

  • Ask for a sample COA in 24 hours

    Batch data is available from a WHO-GMP certified manufacturer. The COA should include assay, dissolution/sterility (for sterile forms) and all relevant quality parameters.

  • Request COPP in your target country

    If the manufacturer has an existing COPP for your market, the drug registration time reduces by 6-12 months. Always get COPP confirmation before one talks to the company.
