GMP certificate for Zambia: what and why
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 Zambia, pharmaceutical dossiers are reviewed by the Zambia Medicines Regulatory Authority. Legalised documents from India are typically part of the file for product registration with drug regulators, 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 High Commission of Zambia in New Delhi.
