Contact SupplierWhat is GDP (Good Distribution Practices) – Version 2022?
ISO GDP 2022 refers to internationally accepted Good Distribution Practices that ensure the proper distribution, transportation, storage, and handling of pharmaceutical products. These guidelines are crucial in maintaining product quality and integrity throughout the entire supply chain—from manufacturer to end user. ISO GDP compliance is vital for safeguarding public health, avoiding contamination, and ensuring medicines are stored and transported under optimal conditions. It also helps meet global regulatory expectations set by bodies such as WHO, EMA, and national drug authorities.
GDP – Overview
ISO GDP is specifically designed for the pharmaceutical logistics sector. It covers a range of quality requirements to ensure that medicinal products are consistently stored, transported, and handled under suitable conditions as required by their marketing authorization. This standard is applicable to manufacturers, wholesalers, warehouses, distributors, freight carriers, cold chain handlers, and anyone involved in pharmaceutical distribution. ISO GDP ensures traceability, accountability, and product safety at every distribution point while minimizing the risk of counterfeit or compromised medicines entering the supply chain.
GDP 2022 Key Requirements
Maintain a robust quality management system tailored for pharmaceutical distribution.
Ensure clean, hygienic, and temperature-controlled storage environments.
Implement procedures for stock rotation (FIFO), returns, and disposal of expired products.
Control and monitor transport conditions, especially for cold chain logistics.
