USFDA Certification

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.

CE Marking Certification

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.

GMP WHO Certification

We provide consultancy service for GMP WHO certification to our clients. GMP (Good Manufacturing Practices) is a standard defined by WHO (World Health Organization). GMP WHO certification ensures that products are consistently produced and controlled to the quality standards appropriate to their intended use and as required by the marketing authorization. W.H.O. defines Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP) as “that part of quality assurance which ensures that products are consistently produced and controlled to the quality standards appropriate to their intended use and as required by the marketing authorization”. GMP covers all aspects of the manufacturing process: defined manufacturing process; validated critical manufacturing steps; suitable premises, storage, transport; qualified and trained production and quality control personnel; adequate laboratory facilities; approved written procedures and instructions; records to show all steps of defined procedures taken; full traceability of a product through batch processing records and distribution records; and systems for recall and investigation of complaints. The guiding principle of GMP is that quality is built into a product, and not just tested into a finished product. Therefore, the assurance is that the product not only meets the final specifications, but that it has been made by the same procedures under the same conditions each and every time it is made. There are many ways this is controlled – controlling the quality of the facility and its systems, controlling the quality of the starting materials, controlling the quality of production at all stages, controlling the quality of the testing of the product, controlling the identity of materials by adequate labeling and segregation, controlling the quality of materials and product by adequate storage, etc. All of these controls must follow prescribed, formal, approved procedures, written as protocols, SOPs, or Master Formulae, describing all the tasks carried out in an entire manufacturing and control process. GMP covers all aspects of the manufacturing process including : Defined manufacturing process Validated critical manufacturing steps Suitable premises, storage, transport, qualified and trained production and quality control personnel Adequate laboratory facilities Approved written procedures and instructions Records to show all steps of defined procedures have been taken Full traceability of a product through batch records and distribution records Systems for recall and investigation of complaints
