GMP/GDP Certificate
Manufacturing and import license and GMP certificate
- Your pharmaceutical/biotech start in the EU -
If you like to manufacture medicinal products and/or investigational medicinal products in the European Union or wish to import them into the EU (in future also from Great Britain!), you need the respective manufacturing/import license and the corresponding GMP certificate.
After submission of the respective license application, the supervisory authority will carry out an on-site inspection to verify compliance with EU Good Manufacturing Practices . In Germany the respective authority has to decide upon the application of the license within three months (§ 17 Abs. 1 AMG).
For the license, you must have established an appropriate quality management system, which demonstrates suitable measures to ensure the proper quality and safety of the medicinal products according to EU standards. In particular, Standard Operating Procedures must describe internal processes, the suitability of all premises and equipment must be demonstrated and the conformity of materials, the qualification of personnel as well as the quality of external services must be ensured and properly documented.

GDP & Wholesale Licence
Wholesale distribution authorization and GDP certificate
- Your pharmaceutical distribution in the EU -
As a pharmaceutical wholesaler in Germany and Europe, you are responsible for ensuring that the quality and integrity of medicinal products are maintained throughout all activities carried out, such as procurement, storage, dispensing and export, and that no counterfeit medicines enter the legal supply chain.
To guarantee this, a wholesaler in Germany needs a wholesale distribution authorization according to § 52a AMG. The application for the wholesale distribution authorization must be submitted to the appropriate state authority. The authority checks whether you comply with the Verordnung über den Großhandel und die Arzneimittelvermittlung (Arzneimittelhandelsverordnung - AM-HandelsV) and the EU Guidelines on Good Distribution Practice (GDP) for medicinal products (2013/C 343/01).
These regulations specify the implementation of a quality management system, which sets out the responsibilities, procedures and principles of risk management in relation to your sales activities. Furthermore, you must provide at least one responsible person who is responsible for the proper operation and compliance with the regulations. Your premises, facilities and equipment must ensure the proper storage and distribution of the medicinal products. As a wholesaler, you must ensure that you purchase the drugs you distribute only from the manufacturer (holder of a manufacturing authorization according to § 13 AMG) or other holders of a wholesale distribution authorization. You are obliged to check with other wholesalers to ensure that they comply with the guidelines of Good Distribution Practice and must check that they hold a wholesale distribution authorization.
