Part 1
Issued following an inspection in accordance with :

Regulation 331A of The Human Medicines Regulations 2012 (SI 2012/1916)

  The competent authority of United Kingdom confirms the following :
The Manufacturer : STERLING PHARMA SOLUTIONS LIMITED
 
Site address : STERLING PHARMA SOLUTIONS LIMITED, DUDLEY LANE, DUDLEY, CRAMLINGTON, NE23 7QG, UNITED KINGDOM
 

Is an active substance manufacturer that has been inspected in accordance with Regulation 327 of The Human Medicines Regulations 2012 (SI 2012/1916).

From the knowledge gained during inspection of this manufacturer, the latest of which was conducted on 12/03/2025, it is considered that it complies with

  • The principles of GMP for active substances referred to in Regulation B17 and C17 of the Human Medicines Regulations 2012 (SI 2012/1916)

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. 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 MHRA-GMDP.
