A new GMP inspection procedure for veterinary drug manufacturers will come into force in 2026.

The main change is that instead of two separate procedures (licensing control and submitting an application for confirmation), a single combined inspection will now be conducted. A new certification procedure for pharmaceutical inspectors has also been approved, and they will be included in the register of certified specialists. As a reminder, effective September 1, 2023, RUSSIA introduced a requirement for a GMP certificate of compliance for the sale of veterinary products on the domestic market.
