6 min read
1. Verify licences and certifications
Ask for valid Drug Licences, WHO-GMP certificate for the relevant dosage form and any additional certifications relevant to your market. Check validity dates and issuing authorities.
2. Review quality systems
A credible manufacturer maintains SOPs, trained personnel, validated processes, environmental monitoring and structured deviation/CAPA handling.
3. Assess documentation and traceability
Batch manufacturing records, analytical records, stability data and clear batch traceability should be routine, not exceptional.
4. Understand raw material sourcing
APIs and excipients should come from qualified vendors and be tested to pharmacopoeial standards before use.
5. Evaluate consistency and service
Beyond the audit, look at real-world consistency — batch-to-batch quality, on-time delivery, complaint handling and responsiveness of the commercial team.

Which single document tells me the most about a manufacturer?+
The valid WHO-GMP certificate for the specific dosage form, combined with recent regulatory inspection outcomes, gives a strong first indication.
Are large manufacturers always better than smaller ones?+
Not necessarily. What matters most is compliance, quality systems and consistency — a well-run smaller facility can outperform a poorly-run larger one.
