US FDA Drug Establishment Registration Services & Renewal Process
As per 21 CFR 207 Drug Establishment Registration, also known as FDA registration, is a mandatory requirement for facilities involved in the manufacturing, propagation, testing, and packaging of finished and bulk drugs, including prescription and OTC drugs.
Additionally, foreign facilities are required to appoint the US. Agent for establishment registration purposes. The US Agent acts as the point of contact for the FDA to communicate with the foreign establishment.
FDA Drug Establishment registration is a mandatory requirement for establishments that manufacture, process, or test drugs, including finished dosage forms, bulk drugs (API), and OTC products for commercial distribution purposes in the United States. All the drug manufacturer who prepares propagate compounds or processes are required to register within five days starting operations, and they must renew their drug establishment registration between October to December each year. Failure to renew the FDA registration may result in the cancelation of registration, and such establishments will be removed from the FDA establishment registration database.
Who should register?
To complete the FDA drug establishment registration process, it takes 4 to 5 working days. If you are not familiar with the registration process, it may take more time.
