When you need a legalised GMP certificate in South Korea
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.
Authorities, banks and business partners in South Korea 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. South Korea accepts the apostille, so no embassy step is needed.
