Good Distribution Practice certificate for local dealers

Find out how you can apply for the voluntary GDP certificate for local importers and wholesalers.

Last updated 13 March 2026

Overview

The Good Distribution Practice (GDP)  certification is a voluntary scheme for companies to be certified to GDP standards by HSA. Companies applying for the GDP certificate will be assessed by HSA for compliance with the HSA Guidelines on Good Distribution Practice (GDP) Standard [PDF, 280 KB].

Companies (such as third party logistics companies) involved with storage and distribution of CTGTP, investigational CTGTP, or starting materials used for the manufacture of CTGTP, may apply for the GDP certificate for CTGTP.

The GDP certificate is valid for 3 years from the date of audit. Companies are advised to apply for a new certificate at least 3 months prior to the anticipated date for the GDP inspection to allow sufficient time to schedule for a GDP inspection.

Changes to information on a GDP certificate which has been issued cannot be made. The company may choose to apply for a new certificate to include any changes in the details, if needed.

A company which has been GDP certified or licensed may request for a copy of the GDP certificate by submitting an application for a GDP certificate (without technical assessment).
