Australian code of good wholesaling practice for therapeutic goods for human use
Wholesaler distribution forms part of the supply chain of manufactured therapeutic goods. Wholesalers are responsible for the effective, efficient and safe handling, storage and distribution of such products. This Code of Practice sets out appropriate steps for meeting this responsibility. It applies to both classes of therapeutic goods - medicinal products ('drugs' in terms of the regulations to the Therapeutic Goods Act) and medical devices.
Except for a brief mention under "storage", the Code does not deal with either common or statute law requirements such as the obligations of contractors, Occupational Health and Safety, Customs and Excise, Poisons (including narcotics), Dangerous Goods, or the many legal requirements surrounding building construction. These must be understood by and met by the wholesaler.
