Pharmaceuticals - GMP certificate validity period


Expert: Michael Anisfeld - 2/14/2008

Question
Dear Sir,

I was wanting to ask this since a long time....the USFDA GMP certificate does not bear a validity period...but the normal industry norms in India is 2 years...i.e. USFDA does re-audit for GMP after 2 years under normal operations and Export of the company products....but the website does not claim it to be 2 years...can you shed some light onto this aspect please?

Thanks in advance...

Answer
FDA Certificates of GMP do not bear expiration dates because FDA has the attitude that the facility was only in GMP compliance on the specific date of the inspection, and only specifically for the areas inspected. Hence it cannot provide a future expiration date.
