1. Contamination Control Strategy Throughout Medicinal Products Life-cycle
Mr. Kriangkrai KAEWCHAIYAPHUM (Thai FDA)
Q1.
If the foreign manufacturer wants to register a new drug(NCE) in Thailand, could GMP on-site or paper-based inspection be waived with MFDS GMP certificate? (Both countries are PIC/S members.)
A1.
If a foreign manufacturer wants to register a new drug(NCE) in Thailand with MFDS GMP Certificate, only the GMP Clearance process is required with paper-based assessment only. No duplicate on-site inspection needed.
There are 2 conditions that would consider with MFDS GMP Certificate;
1. MFDS inspected a manufacturer within their territory (Domestic inspection) is considered as PIC/S pathway.
2. MFDS inspected a manufacturer outside their territory (Overseas inspection) is considered as Certified by PIC/S pathway.
A company who wants to register a new drug(NCE) in Thailand should consult this GMP Clearance process & registration process with an authorized importer/sponsor in Thailand as this is one of duties of the registered pharmacist in charge of their company

Q1.
If the foreign manufacturer wants to register a new drug(NCE) in Malaysia, could GMP on-site or paper-based inspection be waived with MFDS GMP certificate? (Both countries are PIC/S members.)
A1.
Generally, a foreign manufacturer that has a valid GMP Certificate issued by Korea MFDS (PIC/S Participating Authority) may be accepted for products to be registered in Malaysia. However, NPRA Malaysia will reserve the right to inspect the foreign manufacturer, should there be a need.

Q1.
If the foreign manufacturer wants to register a new drug(NCE) in Singapore, could GMP on-site or paper-based inspection be waived with MFDS GMP certificate? (based on MRA between the countries)
A1.
When the Korea-Singapore MRA on Pharmaceutical GMP Inspection is officially implemented, there will generally be no duplication of GMP inspections in each other’s jurisdiction.
A GMP Certificate or equivalent that is granted by Korea MFDS can be submitted as part of product registration of a new drug containing a new chemical entity (NCE). The GMP Certificate or equivalent document may be submitted to Singapore HSA under the “Documentary Evidence Verification Approval (DEVA) route.
