WHO GDP for Pharmaceutical Products

Demonstrate your compliance with World Health Organization (WHO) Good Distribution Practices (GDP) with a WHO GDP audit from SGS.

Demonstrate your compliance with World Health Organization (WHO) Good Distribution Practices (GDP) and Good Storage and Distribution Practices (GSDP) with a WHO GDP audit from SGS.

The WHO has the most representative and universal guidelines on healthcare product storage, transportation, distribution and trade. WHO GDP certification is based on good distribution practices (Technical Report Series, No. 957, Annex 5, 2010), as well as storage and distribution (Technical Report Series, No. 1025, Annex 7, 2020). It applies to any organization that wishes to demonstrate its compliance with the stated management system guidelines for storing, transporting, distributing and trading healthcare products.

Certification sets out appropriate steps to assist in fulfilling the responsibilities involved in the distribution process within the supply chain, as well as avoid introducing counterfeits into the marketplace via the distribution chain.
