Date of Implementation 27-04-2022
Details Difficulty Individual factories were required to have testing facilities for verification of standards of products. Establishing individual testing facility was expensive and getting approval for outsourcing from DRAP was cumbersome.
Analysis This resulted in wastage of time as the companies had to communicate and obtain approvals from DRAP.
Solution Now for standard testing, DRAP has notified accredited laboratories from which the pharmaceutical businesses can simply get their tests done without going through the prior approval mechanism of DRAP. Also any user can search on DRAPs website and reach out to the facility regarding their product certification.
