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.

Europe is a competitive but prize market, easier to access than ever before. Too many Indian exporters, especially small and medium sized enterprises, avoid it because the technical requirements for entry seem too complicated, too difficult, or too expensive. Indian manufacturers who have successfully accessed the European market know that the time to understand the European system is well worth the effort. The European Union alone is filled with affluent consumers, approximately 450 million of them. The European market is a large area that comprises more than 25 countries. For the exporter, therefore, Europe as a whole has become a market whose technical requirements have been greatly simplified. Before the creation of the European Union, each country imposed its own technical requirements. Different standards and conformity assessment procedures forced exporters to target one or two countries only, or to forego exporting to Europe altogether. The unification of these European countries into a European Union, and the consequent harmonization of laws, standards, and conformity assessment procedures, changed all that. Perhaps more importantly, ISO 9001 Certification is used extensively in Europe as a condition of acceptance of a manufacturer’s product or as a means of recognition of the manufacturer’s credibility. It is important to note that a manufacturer with a quality system in place (such as ISO 9001 QMS) should not automatically assume that his or her products are CE compliant because of the quality system alone. The appropriate New Approach Directive(s) will prescribe the correct and full route to conformity assessment. The CE Mark, which is affixed to a product or its packaging, is considered a proof that the product has met the requirements of the harmonized European standard, or directives; refers to Communauté European. Translated from the French, this literally means European Community. The European Commission, which administers the program, describes the CE Mark as a passport for goods to be sold freely within the internal European market. It is required by law if the product falls under one of the New Approach Directives. It is not a quality mark, nor is it a mark for consumers. Intended for Member State authorities, it is the visible sign to those authorities that your product is in compliance with the New Approach Directives. All manufacturers are required to affix the CE mark to products that are governed by New Approach Directives. CE marking on a product indicates to all authorities that the product is in compliance with the essential health and safety requirements of all directives that apply to the product. The first step to compliance is determining which directives apply to the product. A product may be regulated by more than one directive. The CE mark does not disclose which directive(s) or standards apply to the product, nor will it indicate the method of conformity assessment used to bring the product into compliance. This information is provided by other accompanying documents, such as the Declaration of Conformity. The Manufacturer or the Authorized Representative affixes the CE marking to the product. It is not affixed by a Notified Body.

QMS & EHS Standards

Learning services for non-formal education and training – Basic requirements for service providers The objective of this International Standard is to provide a generic model for quality professional practice and performance, and a common reference for learning service providers (LSPs) and their clients in the design, development and delivery of non-formal education, training and development. This International Standard uses the term “learning services” rather than “training” in order to encourage a focus on the learner and the results of the process, and to emphasize the full range of options available for delivering learning services. This International Standard focuses on the competency of LSPs. It is intended to assist organizations and individuals to select an LSP who will meet the organization’s needs and expectations for competency and capability development and can be used to certify LSPs. ISO 29990:2010 is an International Standard for providers of training and further training. It offers a certifiable and state of the art Standard according to ISO requirements for Management Systems. The Standard addresses – for the first time with international validity – all types of educational institutions. This includes single trainers, private seminar providers, organizations providing further training with courses, curricula and internal training as well as further training up to higher educational institutions and universities. The Standard has some congruent features with other management systems, above all with ISO 9001 .ISO 29990 is basically subdivided into two areas: learning services (for example, these services include designing, providing and monitoring of learning services) and management at the learning service provider for example business planning, financial management, risk management as well as human resources management. This Standard is the first Standard for learning providers that is valid and applied on an international scale. The advantages for learning providers are transparency of their own services, international comparability and defined processes for quality assurance. BENEFITS of ISO 29990:2010 Advantages for Learning Service Providers:- Outstanding performance during tendering work from official bodies. Globally marketability.

Food Safety Standards

“License to operate in the International Feeds Sector.” FEED SAFETY CHALLENGE Feed Safety and Quality are key issues for all companies handling feedstuffs and can have serious consequences when control is lost. A systematic approach is imperative for reducing risk and improving quality. Companies seeking to internationalize their business in Europe must be certified to a standard recognized by the GMP+ International (former PDV) organization. The GMP+ certification is also recognized by other feed certification schemes. Knowledge of GMP+ is spreading and the certificate is requested at a continuously greater extent throughout the world. The GMP+ regulations are in a process of continuous development and improvement and changes are relevant to all organizations in the international supply chain. WHAT ARE GMP+ STANDARDS BASED ON? The GMP+ standards have been developed to harmonize requirements for feed in order to ensure quality and safety throughout the entire feed chain. It is based on widely recognized principles of quality assurance, Hazard Analysis Critical Control Point (HACCP). Choosing which standard (B1, B2, etc.) and certification scope (production of feed materials, trade, etc.) depends on the organization’s role in the feed chain. GMP+ B1 is mandatory for the production of compound feed, but can also be used for the production of feed materials and transport. B2 can be used for the production of feed materials and feed additives, while B3 is intended for trade and transshipment. Each of these standards is intended for different means of feed transport (e.g. B4.1 is intended for truck transport). All steps in the supply chain are thus covered by the given requirements. Advantages of GMP+ certification Companies benefit from GMP+ certification, because it: is focused on quality management (ISO 9001) and risk management (HACCP); provides access to supporting information and services, such as risk assessments, fact sheets, storing and sharing your monitoring data, newsletters, Early Warning messages etc); Offers new sales opportunities and to a great degree, ensures the retention of current customers; Guarantees the continuity of business operations, because the corporate structure is set up more efficiently and the costs and financial risks are limited; Helps improve the company image and the reliability; Makes your company part of a globally operating feed safety system (the GMP+ certificate is accepted internationally by about 12000 companies in 66 countries); Is accepted by other (inter)national schemes; Can easily be combined with multiple certifications (feed safety and sustainability); Contributes to uniformity in the feed chain.
