Renewal and Ongoing Audits
As the GMP Certificate issued for an overseas manufac- turer has to be renewed every three years, it seems that the Thai FDA is trying to control/audit all manufacturers with products registered in Thailand. Meanwhile, local manufac- turers normally have to renew their GMP Certificates every two years.
The GMP accreditation regulation of overseas manufac- turers does not, however, affect manufacturers with prod- ucts that were submitted for drug registration before October 1, 2012, because the manufacturer’s name and address are available in the Thai FDA database. It would be possible to have them audited if product registration renewal was required. Unfortunately, there is no require- ment in Thailand for product registration renewal every five years, unlike other countries in ASEAN such as Singa- pore, Malaysia, etc. Therefore, these overseas manufactur- ers are still awaiting audit by the Thai FDA. For the time being, there are no measures to manage the audit of these manufacturers. To complete the GMP system in Thailand, the Thai FDA has the burden to eliminate the gap between new and old overseas manufacturers. This leaves many observers wondering how best to control products from overseas manufacturers that have never been audited by the Thai FDA.
