Manufacturing Matters

Manufacturers of veterinary medicines who are due to be inspected for GMP compliance during the 2004-2005 programme have been advised, and will be contacted by the inspector to arrange the visit.

The updating of product registrations required as a result of the transfer of products to the ACVM Act is having an impact on the veterinary medicines GMP programme. Some products have not been updated and others have been class determined as exempt from registration. Therefore some manufacturers will no longer be included in the GMP approval programme. When the update process is completed we will be in a position to update the Register of ACVM Approved Manufacturers on the website.

Registrants are reminded that any change of manufacturing arrangements for agricultural compounds and veterinary medicines must be notified to the ACVM Group and approved under the ACVM Act. It has been clear from the updating process that not all manufacturing changes are being notified.
