CERT-17|Business Quality Standards Certification

GDP

GDP support for the storage and distribution links in your supply chain, not just the factory floor.

We help assess your warehousing, transport and distribution processes against Good Distribution Practice requirements and prepare you for certification or audit.

01|OVERVIEW

What is GDP?

Good Distribution Practice (GDP) covers the quality standards required for the proper storage, transportation and distribution of pharmaceutical and healthcare products, ensuring product integrity — including temperature control and traceability — is maintained from manufacturer to end user.

It's particularly relevant to pharmaceutical distributors, third-party logistics providers handling healthcare products, and cold-chain operators, and is often expected by pharmaceutical manufacturers when selecting distribution partners.

Certification or attestation is carried out by the relevant accredited certification body or, in some jurisdictions, verified as part of drug distribution licensing. Gurur Consultancy helps assess your storage and distribution processes against GDP requirements, close documentation gaps, and prepare for that assessment.
