Certificate of Pharmaceutical product (CoPP)
 The certificate of pharmaceutical product (abbreviated: CPP) is a
certificate issued in the format recommended by the World Health
Organization (WHO), which establishes the status of the
pharmaceutical product and of the applicant for this certificate in the
exporting country
 It is often mentioned in conjunction with the electronic Common
Technical Document (eCTD)
 A CPP is issued for a single product, because manufacturing
arrangements and approved information for different pharmaceutical
forms and strengths can vary
 The CPP is mentioned in World Trade Organization documents,
although the tightly regulated products are subject to bilateral trade
agreements or regional trade agreements The International Council
for Harmonisation of Technical Requirements for Pharmaceuticals for
Human Use (ICH) has instituted standards for this purpose but it is
unclear how the ex-ICH countries operate their health regulators

Scope
 The Certificate of a Pharmaceutical Product is needed by the
importing country when the product in question is intended for
registration (licensing, authorisation) or renewal (prolongation) of
registration, with the scope of commercialisation or distribution in
that country
 Certification has been recommended by WHO to help undersized
drug regulatory authorities or drug regulatory authorities without
proper quality assurance facilities in importing countries to assess the
quality of pharmaceutical products as prerequisite of registration or
importation
 In the presence of such CPP, WHO recommends to national
authorities to ensure that analytical methods can be confirmed by
the national laboratory, to review and if necessary to adapt product
information as per local labelling requirements, and to assess
bioequivalence and stability data if necessary
Certificate of Pharmaceutical product continue………
Need
 CoPP is needed for obtaining global marketing approval for any FPP
intended for animal or human use
 This certificate is issued by Competent authority (CA)of the exporting
country and is intended for use by the CA within an importing
country
 It is issued for the following purposes:
1. A Product is under consideration for product license/ marketing
authorization that will authorize its import and sale in the importing
country
2. Administrative action is required to renew, extend or review such
license
 This certificate is issued for every medicinal product, which includes
information – trade name, pharmaceutical dosage form, strength
and name of country to export
Certificate of Pharmaceutical product continue………
Need
 CoPP is issued to:
1. Marketing authorization holder (MAH) for medicinal with valid
marketing authorization or their representatives
2. Manufactures without valid marketing authorization and with valid
marketing authorization
3. Wholesale distributor authorized by the MAH to consult the
information for the medicinal product

a. Exporting (certifying) country
b. Importing (requesting) country

product(active ingredient and amount per unit dose
d. Information on registration (licensing) and marketing (presence on
the market) status of the product in the exporting country
e. Number of product license (including license holder details, license
holder’s involvement in manufacturing if any) and date of issue, if
applicable
f. Appended summary of technical basis on which the product has
been licensed (if required by the issuing authority)
g. Appended current product information
h. Details on the applicant for the CPP
i. If marketing authorisation is lacking in the exporting country,
information about reasons
Certificate of Pharmaceutical product continue………
Content and format
 When applicable, information if the manufacturing site is periodically
inspected by certifying authority and if the manufacturing site
complies with Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP) as recommended
by WHO
 Although issuing authorities claim that their CPP conform to WHO
format (a statement to confirm whether or not the document is
issued in the format recommended by WHO should be included in
the certificate), their format and content may vary from an issuing
country to another
 Also, some authorities do not issue CPP if the respective drug is not
licensed in the exporting country (e.g. Italy)
 In this last case, a Certificate of Exportation is issued instead, with a
format and content similar to those of CPP
Certificate of Pharmaceutical product continue………
Importance
 To assess quality, safety and efficacy of the product as they approve
for marketing
 A CoPP RA in the exporting demonstrates country and product
follows correct guidelines and procedures of GMP
