TGA certificates issued as a result of a successful on-site inspection may be provided as evidence to obtain a GMP clearance if you were not using this manufacturer at the time the inspection was scheduled.

If you provide a TGA certificate as evidence, you will still be required to provide the following sponsor-specific evidence (where applicable):

• GMP, quality or technical agreements between the sponsor and manufacturer
• a list of products intended for supply (specific to the application)
• the latest product quality review (specific to the products in the application)
• an API declaration

We will not accept a TGA issued certificate as evidence for a GMP clearance application if you declined to contribute to the cost of the inspection without justification.

Further information on documentation requirements can be found in Step 3 (Identifying what documentation is required) of the GMP clearance guidance.

Where you need to vary your GMP clearance as a result of physical changes to the manufacturer details, the documentary evidence and fees incurred will be the same as submitting a new application.

There are specific evidence requirements for GMP clearance applications depending on the product type or manufacturing activity. An application might relate to:

• manufacture of an Active Pharmaceutical Ingredient (API) used in a medicine
• manufacture of a medicine as the finished product intended for supply in Australia
• manufacturing steps undertaken by a contract steriliser or contract testing laboratory

You will need to submit separate applications for API and finished products, even if the evidence is applicable to both.

Pay particular attention when selecting the scope of your GMP clearance application, as incorrect selection(s) may impact the evidence requirements and processing times.

If you are unsure of the options, refer to the GMP clearance guidance or contact the Manufacturing Quality Branch prior to submitting a GMP clearance application.

There are different evidence requirements depending on whether you want to

1. Obtain a new clearance
2. Vary an existing clearance (renew, change scope, change manufacturer details or applicant/sponsor details)
3. Transfer a GMP clearance

When you update an existing GMP clearance by submitting a variation application, this will allow you to keep the original GMP clearance number and avoid the need to update your ARTG entries. Where there has been a transfer of product sponsorship, transferring GMP clearances to the new sponsor will ensure continuity of the product listing or registration.
