In the Netherlands, licenses are issued by Farmatec. Farmatec provides pharmaceutical licenses, approvals, exemptions and registrations for pharmaceuticals and medical devices for, for example, the pharmaceutical industry.
To avoid delays in the application or change process of a WDA or MIA, it is important to submit applications as correctly and accurately as possible. PCS is happy to help you with this. With the help of years of expertise, we can unburden you by collecting the required documentation, compiling it and submitting it with a correctly completed registration form.
In order to meet the requirements for a MIA or WDA, a company must meet a number of requirements;
- The company has implemented the Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP) or Good Distribution Practice (GDP) legislation,
- The company may manufacture, distribute, store or import the intended drugs,
- The supply chains have been carefully mapped out and are transparent,
- An inspection can take place at the company; both the quality system and the facility/office are operational,
- A license application is pending with Farmatec (or the company already has a license),
- Must comply with the requirements of the Marketing Authorization or Clinical Trial Authorisation, as appropriate.
Applying for or changing a WDL or MIA license can be complex. In particular, companies that are new to the pharmaceutical industry or want to set up a branch in the Netherlands from abroad can experience the Dutch licensing system as challenging.
PCS has the experience and expertise to guide licensing processes to good results. If desired, PCS can submit the license application to the government and conduct the subsequent correspondence.
A GMP certificate is a certificate that shows that your company complies with Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP) and thus meets the requirement of the Ministry of Health to import medicinal products into the EU. If you are GMP certified, you can import and produce medicines.
It also gives your company the ability to manufacture and market medicines in countries. This means that medicines can be sold in the European Union, or that they can be exported to countries outside the EU.
When a logistics organization is GDP certified, the company is allowed to store and trade medicines. The quality of a medicine must also be guaranteed after the medicine has left the factory. That is why licensing requirements have been drawn up for the storage, transport and delivery of medicines.
The GDP certification is intended for logistics organizations that store medicines for longer than 72 hours, or have outsourced their storage. With a GDP certificate, a company meets the Good Distribution Practice (GDP) requirements. It is not allowed to produce or import medicinal products under a GDP certificate or GDP permit. A GMP certificate and GMP permit are required for this.
