The SwissGMDP database is the official, publicly accessible electronic register maintained by Swissmedic(the Swiss Agency for Therapeutic Products), which serves as the national regulatory and supervisory authority for drugs and medical products in Switzerland.
The primary purpose of the SwissGMDP database is to enhance the transparency and security of the medicinal product and active substance supply chain within Switzerland and internationally. It is a vital tool for life science professionals, including those involved in regulatory affairs, quality assurance (QA), supply chain management, and vendor qualification, by providing verifiable information on licensed establishments.
The database lists all establishment licence holders domiciled in Switzerland who are authorized by Swissmedic to conduct activities related to therapeutic products, such as manufacturing, import, export, and wholesale distribution.
Key information available includes:
- Details of the establishment licence holders and their authorized operating sites.
- The corresponding Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP) and Good Distribution Practice (GDP) certificates, which are issued following successful inspections by Swissmedic’s Inspectorates to certify compliance with recognized quality standards.
- A clear indication of the compliance status for operating sites.
- The specific authorized activities at each site, including details on Switzerland-specific operations.
