USFDA Certification

Apply For USFDA Certification In Indore Looking for comprehensive certification solutions? Shark Certification offers a wide range of services, including FSSC, BRC, HALAL, KOSHER, NGMO, GMP, USFDA, and ORGANIC. Let us guide you through the process. About the U.S. FDA The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is a key federal agency under the United States Department of Health and Human Services. As part of the federal executive structure, the FDA plays a vital role in safeguarding public health by regulating a wide range of products including pharmaceuticals, food items, cosmetics, and medical devices. The FDA is responsible for the approval and oversight of: New pharmaceutical products, including biologics Food and feed additives for humans and animals Color additives used in consumables and cosmetics Select categories of medical equipment and devices To ensure that products entering the U.S. market meet stringent quality and safety standards, the FDA also conducts inspections in manufacturing units located outside the U.S., including facilities in India that export drugs and food items to the American market. These inspections are based on Current Good Manufacturing Practices (CGMP) standards set by the agency. Compliance and FDA Inspections During inspections, FDA officials assess the level of compliance with CGMP guidelines. If any deviations or concerns are observed, they are documented in Form 483. This form outlines specific areas of non-compliance and is discussed directly with the management team of the manufacturing facility. Alongside the Form 483, the agency provides an Establishment Inspection Report (EIR), indicating whether any further action is necessary. Companies are expected to respond to the Form 483 within 15 working days. While the response is not legally required, submitting a detailed reply outlining corrective actions is highly recommended to avoid escalation. If the response is inadequate or if violations are severe, the FDA may issue a Warning Letter. In critical cases, enforcement actions such as import alerts, product approval delays, or even revocation of manufacturing licenses can follow. The FDA Approval Process For a drug or high-risk medical device to receive FDA approval, the manufacturer must demonstrate that it is both safe and effective for its intended use. While the FDA itself does not conduct testing, it rigorously reviews the data and clinical trial results submitted by manufacturers. Approval is granted only after a thorough review by a multidisciplinary team of FDA experts—including statisticians, biologists, chemists, and clinicians. Why FDA Compliance Matters for Indian Manufacturers The U.S. remains one of the largest and most lucrative markets for pharmaceutical products. Over the past few decades, Indian pharmaceutical firms have gained a significant presence in the U.S. generics space. To maintain and grow this market share, ongoing compliance with FDA regulations is crucial. Shark Certification Pvt. Ltd. – Your FDA Compliance Partner At Shark Certification Pvt.

Organic Certification

Promoting organic production standards to meet consumer demand BUSINESS CHALLENGE Increased cases of unsafe food due to over use of chemical fertilizers and chemicals in food production system, has created an increasing worldwide demand for organic food. The challenge facing the organic agriculture industry is to produce foodstuffs and agricultural products using methods, which respect the environment and animal welfare. Globally, these demands are defined by regulations, particularly in those countries, which consume organic products. The principal standards are NPOP standard (India Organic- APEDA), EU Regulation 834/2007 and the US National Organic Program (NOP). To take into account the regulations in place, the certification scheme depends both on the country of production and the country of destination. This certification is aimed at producer organizations or members of food industries who want to commercialize organic products for a particular market. The organic certification considered as a guarantee of quality and safety by the consumers. What is Organic Certification? Organic certification is a nationally and internationally recognized set of standards aimed at proving that agricultural and food products have been produced without the use of synthetic chemical products, while using methods, which respect the environment and animal welfare. Organic requirements involve a set of production specifications for growing, storage, processing, packaging and shipping. All organic assessment and qualification references require control and certification by an accredited independent body. Organic Certification Requirements vary from country to country and generally involve a set of production standards for growing, storage, processing, packaging and shipping that include: avoidance of synthetic chemical inputs (e.g. fertilizer, pesticides, antibiotics, food additives), irradiation, and the use of sewage sludge; avoidance of genetically modified seed; use of farmland that has been free from prohibited chemical inputs for a number of years (often, three or more); for livestock, adhering to specific requirements for feed, housing, and breeding; keeping detailed written production and sales records (audit trail); maintaining strict physical separation of organic products from non-certified products; Undergoing periodic on-site inspections. Certified organic foods are not necessarily pesticide-free, certain pesticides are allowed. What are the key benefits? Demonstrate Organic Standards compliance of products to clients (retailers, traders, importers) Inspire consumer confidence Ensure greater access to existing and target markets Help protect the environment from harmful products and processes Preserve animal welfare WHY CHOOSE SCPL We are working with USOCA that is accredited for certification according to the NPOP, Swiss, European and NOP (USDA) organic production standard. With the NPOP, the client will also get certificate for Swiss and European Organic certification (EU Regulation No. 834/2007), which will make it recognized by all European Union member countries. In order to access the US market, you have to certify your products to the National Organic Program (NOP).
