Within ninety days of the inspection of an establishment referred to in 1° or 2° of article R. 5142-1, a certificate of compliance with good practice is issued to the pharmacist or veterinarian responsible if it appears that this establishment complies with the good manufacturing practice for veterinary medicinal products referred to in article L. 5142-3 . This certificate relates to the conditions under which the various pharmaceutical operations were carried out at the time of the inspection. It cannot be used to guarantee the safety or quality of individual batches of veterinary medicinal products manufactured or imported.
When the inspection reveals that good manufacturing practices are not being complied with by an establishment, and a certificate had previously been issued, the Agence nationale de sécurité sanitaire de l’alimentation, de l’environnement et du travail terminates its validity. Copies of the certificate held by the holder are immediately returned to the Agency.
This certificate, or failing this, the information that the inspection has led to the conclusion that the establishment does not comply with the good manufacturing practices mentioned in article L. 5142-3, is recorded in a database set up by the European Medicines Agency.
