Good manufacturing practice (GMP) support

GMP responsibilities for MA holders

By combining QA, QC, GMP, regulatory affairs and technical expertise we can help you achieve a product registration that will be compliant.

Together we will also work to reduce the risk for time-consuming variation applications in the commercial phase.

MAH responsibilities in collaborative manufacturing

You as the marketing authorisation holder (MAH) have the ultimate responsibility for how a medicinal product performs over its lifetime, its safety, quality and efficacy. This means that you have responsibilities in many areas of Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP) even if a third-party contract manufacturing organisation (CMO) is present.

Communication between the MAH and the CMO must go both ways to ensure that the legal responsibilities and quality of the pharmaceutical product are in good hands.

The MAH is responsible for communicating the information registered in the marketing authorisation to the CMO, so that the manufacturer stays compliant.

Furthermore, prior to the MA-registration the MAH should consider the registration strategy with respect to future plans such as market access and market expansion, which affect potential scale up and technology transfers.

Other responsibilities of the MAH are:

ASMF (Active Substance Master File) and CEP (Certificate of suitability to the monographs of the European Pharmacopoeia) registration

Product Quality Review (PQR)

Complaints and product recalls

MA-variations

Maintenance of supply of medicinal products
