COPP for South Sudan: 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.
Africa is one of the largest markets for Indian generic medicines, and national regulators generally require legalised COPPs, GMP and free sale certificates for product registration.
Authorities, banks and business partners in South Sudan usually ask for a legalised COPP for new product registration with the drug regulator, renewal or variation of an existing registration or 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 Embassy of South Sudan in New Delhi.
