Why Afghanistan asks for a legalised GMP certificate
A GMP or WHO-GMP certificate confirms that a manufacturing plant follows good manufacturing practice. Foreign regulators treat it as core evidence of quality when they register Indian medicines, devices, cosmetics and food supplements. GMP and WHO-GMP certificates are issued by Indian drug regulatory authorities after inspecting the manufacturing site.
Drug regulators across South-East and South Asia register many Indian medicines and typically ask for the regulatory certificates in a legalised form.
In Afghanistan, a legalised GMP certificate is typically requested for product registration with drug regulators; it is also used for plant approval by importing authorities and tender qualification.
The GMP certificate 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 Afghanistan in New Delhi.
