The certification register

Held by Sarvalok Animal Health Exports LLP

Certificate numbers shown here are placeholders in this deployment and must be replaced with the real registration data before the site goes live. They live in one file, src/lib/brand.ts.

What each certificate actually proves

WHO-GMP

That a named manufacturing site has been inspected against WHO Good Manufacturing Practice for the dosage forms listed on the certificate. It is site-specific and form-specific. A WHO-GMP certificate for oral liquids says nothing about a plant's sterile injectable line.

CoPP

The Certificate of Pharmaceutical Product. In WHO format, it confirms that a specific product is licensed in the exporting country and that the manufacturing site complies with GMP. It is the single document most registration authorities will not proceed without.

Free Sale Certificate

That the product is freely sold in the country of origin. Simpler and faster than a CoPP, and accepted in place of one in some markets, mainly for feed supplements and non-medicinal lines.

ISO 9001

That a quality management system exists and is audited. It says nothing about the product. Useful as a signal of process discipline, worthless as a substitute for a drug licence.

GDP

Good Distribution Practice. It covers storage conditions, transport, traceability and the prevention of falsified product entering the chain. For a distributor this is the relevant standard, and it is the one most Indian exporters do not hold.

FSSAI

The Indian food safety registration, which is what feed supplements and pet food are regulated under rather than the drug licence. Two different legal regimes, and buyers routinely ask for the wrong one.

CDSCO

Central Drugs Standard Control Organisation. The national drug regulator, whose registration is required for export of certain categories and whose approval sits behind state-issued licences.

HACCP

Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Points. A food-safety system applied to pet food and nutraceutical lines, focused on identifying and controlling hazards at defined points in the process.
