Why Burundi 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.
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.
In Burundi, 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 notarised, attested by an Indian Chamber of Commerce and then apostilled by the MEA. Burundi accepts the apostille, so no embassy step is needed.
