COPP for 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.
Health ministries in the Middle East register a large number of Indian generic medicines each year, and their registration files almost always include legalised regulatory certificates from India.
Companies dealing with Sudan 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 Embassy of Sudan in New Delhi.
