GDP CERTIFICATION
GDP Approval for Pharmaceutical Distribution
ACS Canada provides Good Distribution Practice (GDP) Approval services for pharmaceutical distributors, wholesalers, logistics providers, transportation companies, warehouses, cold chain operators, and related pharmaceutical service organizations seeking independent verification of compliance with recognized pharmaceutical distribution practices.
GDP Approval helps organizations demonstrate that pharmaceutical products, active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs), excipients, vaccines, medical products, and healthcare products are stored, handled, transported, and distributed under controlled conditions that preserve product quality, safety, efficacy, and integrity throughout the supply chain.
ACS Canada conducts GDP assessments using a structured Stage 1 Documentation Review and Stage 2 Implementation Assessment process based on internationally recognized pharmaceutical distribution principles, including WHO Good Distribution Practice guidance.
ACS Canada strongly recommends combining GDP Approval for Pharmaceutical Distribution with ISO 9001 IAF-accredited certification to strengthen quality management, traceability, documentation control, customer confidence, supplier management, and continual improvement.
