1.GMP Certificate:

GMP refers to the Good Manufacturing Practice Regulations promulgated by the US Food and Drug Administration under the authority of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act.These regulations, which have the force of law, require that manufacturers, processors, and packagers of drugs, medical devices, some food, and blood take proactive steps to ensure that their products are safe, pure, and effective. GMP regulations require a quality approach to manufacturing, enabling companies to minimize or eliminate instances of contamination, mixups, and errors. This in turn, protects the consumer from purchasing a product which is not effective or even dangerous. Failure of firms to comply with GMP regulations can result in very serious consequences including recall, seizure, fines, and jail time.

 

2.Free Sale Certificate:

A Free Sale Certificate is issued by the national health authorities for a specific product, stating that the product is for "free sale" within the country of origin. This does not necessarily mean that the product is licensed to be placed on the market in the country of origin, but that the product is of a quality suitable for being placed on the market. In other words, a Free Sale Certificate does not guarantee that the product in question is marketed in the country of origin.
