When you need a legalised GMP certificate in Ireland
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.
European regulators and importers may ask for apostilled regulatory documents when an Indian manufacturer supplies medicines, APIs or devices.
Authorities, banks and business partners in Ireland usually ask for a legalised GMP certificate for product registration with drug regulators, plant approval by importing authorities or tender qualification.
The GMP certificate issued in India is notarised, attested by an Indian Chamber of Commerce and then apostilled by the MEA. Ireland accepts the apostille, so no embassy step is needed.
