What it is

EudraGMDP is the EU database of manufacturing and distribution compliance information, run by EMA. It holds:

  • Manufacturing and import authorisations, and wholesale distribution authorisations.
  • GMP and GDP certificates.
  • GMP non-compliance statements (added in 2009).
  • Registrations of active substance manufacturers, importers, and distributors (added in 2013).
  • A planning module for third-country inspections, which is not in the public version.

A public version has been available since 2011. It shows information “not of a commercially or personally confidential nature.” EEA authorities have full read and write access, and several international partners have read access.

For US companies, its main use is supplier qualification: confirming that an EU site or API source has a valid GMP certificate and no non-compliance statement.

Where to find it

  • Public EudraGMDP interface linked from EMA’s EudraGMDP page.
  • EMA’s EudraGMDP page for background and help. Note that it was last modified in December 2021.

Reuse terms: why “check required”

EMA’s general legal notice allows reproduction with EMA acknowledged as the source, including commercial use, and excludes third-party content. But EudraGMDP raises specific issues:

  • Bulk retrieval. EMA’s EudraGMDP page we opened does not set out terms for bulk download or reuse, so systematic downloading should be cleared first.
  • Redistribution. Republishing certificate data in a product or shared database goes beyond checking a supplier.
  • Currency. Certificates expire and statements are issued or withdrawn; stale copies can mislead.
  • Data quality. Records are entered by many national authorities.

Using EudraGMDP in AI and RAG

  1. Query, don’t harvest. Look up the suppliers you need instead of bulk downloading the database.
  2. Save evidence with the date checked: certificate number, issuing authority, scope, and validity.
  3. Keep supplier evidence in your private quality system, not a shared or public index.
  4. Re-check before key decisions such as batch release or audit planning.
  5. Ask EMA if you need structured or bulk access, and record the answer.
  6. Attribute EMA when certificate details appear in reports.

Common mistakes

  • Scraping EudraGMDP to build a vendor database.
  • Relying on a certificate captured months ago.
  • Overlooking non-compliance statements because only certificates were checked.
  • Redistributing data to customers without checking terms.

Checklist

  • Lookups limited to suppliers in scope
  • Evidence saved with date, number, authority, and scope
  • Stored in private quality records
  • Re-check scheduled before key decisions
  • Bulk or structured access cleared with EMA
  • EMA attribution in reports

How AskDona helps

AskDona compares your approved supplier list and quality agreements with the EudraGMDP evidence you have saved, flagging missing certificates, expired dates, or scope mismatches. Each flag cites the saved evidence and date.

AskDona shows the evidence; your supplier quality team decides.

FAQ

Is EudraGMDP public? A public version has existed since 2011, showing non-confidential information. The inspection planning module is not public.

Can I bulk download EudraGMDP? The EMA page we reviewed sets no bulk terms, so clear it with EMA first.

What should I save as evidence? Certificate number, authority, scope, validity, and the date you checked.

Does EudraGMDP cover non-EU sites? It includes certificates from EU inspections of third-country sites, but check each record’s scope.
