COPP for Papua New Guinea: what and why
A Certificate of Pharmaceutical Product (COPP) confirms that a medicine is licensed in India, made in a GMP-compliant plant and sold by a named licence holder. It follows the WHO format, so drug regulators abroad can rely on it when they register an Indian product. The COPP is issued by CDSCO jointly with the State Licensing Authority, under the WHO Certification Scheme.
Regulators in Oceania may ask for apostilled regulatory documents when registering products made in India.
Companies dealing with Papua New Guinea are most often asked for a legalised COPP during new product registration with the drug regulator, as well as for renewal or variation of an existing registration and tender submissions by the local distributor.
The COPP issued in India is attested by an Indian Chamber of Commerce, then by the Ministry of External Affairs (MEA), and finally legalised by the High Commission of Papua New Guinea in New Delhi.
