Due to the restrictions caused by COVID-19, the period of validity GMP and GDP certificates issued by EEA authorities is automatically extended until the end of 2023, except where clarifying remarks in the document state otherwise. Manufacturers, and importers and distributors must continue to comply with GMP/GDP and all other legal obligations. On-site inspections are conducted where and when possible. Competent authorities reserve the right to perform risk based supervision of sites by either on-site inspections or distant assessments and, based on the outcome, may continue to issue, withdraw or restrict GMP certificates, as appropriate.

For the UK, as from 1.1.2021, EU Law applies only to the territory of Northern Ireland (NI) to the extent foreseen in the Protocol on Ireland/NI.

Documents issued by UK authorities up to and including 31 December 2020 remain available for consultation in EudraGMDP. However, they are no longer included or updated from 1 January 2021, with the exception of the documents pertaining to sites located in Northern Ireland.

As of 28 January 2022, the source of organisational data will change. Additional information and instructions are available on EMA's website
