The competent authority of Italy confirms the following:

The manufacturer: NEWCHEM S.P.A.

Site address: Via Parco del Ticino, 10, SAN MARTINO SICCOMARIO, 27100

OMS Organisation Id. / OMS Location Id.: ORG-100017847 / LOC-100026609


Is an active substance manufacturer that has been inspected in accordance with Art. 111(1) of Directive 2001/83/EC0.

From the knowledge gained during inspection of this manufacturer, the latest of which was conducted on  2022-04-01 , it is considered that it complies with:

  • The principles of GMP for active substances referred to in Article 47 of Directive 2001/83/EC and an appropriate level of GMP as referred to in Article 46(f) of Directive 2001/83/EC.
    		•

    This certificate reflects the status of the manufacturing site at the time of the inspection noted above and should not be relied upon to reflect the compliance status if more than three years have elapsed since the date of that inspection. However, this period of validity may be reduced or extended using regulatory risk management principles by an entry in the Restrictions or Clarifying remarks field. Updates to restrictions or clarifying remarks can be identified through the EudraGMDP website (https://eudragmdp.ema.europa.eu/). This certificate is valid only when presented with all pages and both Parts 1 and 2.

     The authenticity of this certificate may be verified in EudraGMDP. If it does not appear, please contact the issuing authority.

    Clarifying remarks (for public users):
    Imported active substances (AS) marked as confidential undergo further processing within the importing site and/or are released to other AS manufacturing sites for processing. PROSTAGLANDINS: no batch certification, except Limaprost Alfadex. On a risk-based approach, the validity of the GMP certificate for this manufacturing site is not more than 42 months from the latest general GMP inspection conducted on 2022/04/01, except for AIFA's re-evaluation of the risk profile.
