🇮🇳 ValiPro: Panaji (Goa) CDSCO & State FDA Validation Services

Ensure Flawless Compliance with the Revised Schedule M and Meet the High Scrutiny of the Goa FDA and CDSCO for International Certifications and Port-based Regulations.

ValiPro provides expert Process Validation Protocol and Report services specifically designed for manufacturers operating in Goa. Our documentation is built for full compliance with the rigorous standards of the Goa Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and the CDSCO Sub-Zonal Office (Goa), including its specific responsibilities for Seaport and Airport inspections.

Key compliance pillars for Goa-based units include:

• State Control (Goa FDA): The local authority for granting and renewing manufacturing licenses, enforcing routine local inspections, and ensuring compliance with the state's implementation of the Drugs and Cosmetics Act and Schedule M.

• Central Control (CDSCO Sub-Zone, Goa): The local CDSCO office's specific functions include oversight of the Manohar International Airport (Mopa) and Seaport for drug regulation. Goa falls under the overall jurisdiction of the CDSCO West Zone Office (Mumbai) for major certifications like CoPP and Written Confirmation (WC).

• Export Focus: Goa is a key location for global pharmaceutical manufacturing (CDMOs and large-scale domestic/multinational companies). Validation must meet internationally harmonized standards (WHO-GMP, ICH Q7, US-FDA, EU GMP).

• Revised Schedule M Mandate: Mandatory and time-bound adherence to the significantly upgraded Revised Schedule M, which aligns Indian GMP with international standards.

🌟 Why Validation is Crucial in Goa

Goa's status as an export hub means manufacturers face scrutiny from three angles: the local Goa FDA, the CDSCO Sub-Zone (Port/Airport), and the CDSCO West Zone (Mumbai) for international documentation. Robust, lifecycle validation is the only way to satisfy all three.

1. Compliance with Revised Schedule M (FDA Enforcement)

The Goa FDA is responsible for enforcing the Revised Schedule M. All manufacturers must demonstrate a shift to a modern, scientific System-Based GMP.

• Qualification (IQ/OQ/PQ): All critical equipment, including the ubiquitous Water Systems and HVAC, must be formally Qualified. The Revised Schedule M explicitly mandates a validated system for treatment of water.

• Process Validation (PV): Must be performed prospectively and followed by Continued Process Verification (CPV) to prove consistency, especially for manufacturing specialized products like those handled by major CDMOs in Goa.

• Timeline: Small and Medium-sized Manufacturers (MSMEs) in Goa have a conditional extension until December 31, 2025, to achieve full compliance with the Revised Schedule M. Validation documentation is the core of this upgrade.

2. CDSCO Sub-Zone (Goa) & Port Regulation

The local CDSCO Sub-Zonal Office plays a crucial role in regulating trade:

• Airport/Seaport Oversight: The CDSCO office is specifically located near the new Manohar International Airport to regulate drugs entering or leaving the country through these ports. This ensures that only compliant drugs are traded, emphasizing the need for export-ready documentation.

• Joint Inspections: CDSCO West Zone (Mumbai) coordinates joint inspections with the Goa FDA for the grant/revalidation of licenses, especially for critical drugs, ensuring uniform high quality.

3. International Audit Readiness

Goa's high concentration of global pharmaceutical units (including CDMOs) means routine exposure to audits from major foreign regulators (US FDA, MHRA, TGA). Your validation documentation must withstand this global scrutiny.

• CoPP/WC Support: Validation documentation must meet WHO-GMP and ICH Q7 standards to support the applications for the Certificate of Pharmaceutical Product (CoPP) and Written Confirmation (WC) for API export.

🎯 Compliance Focus: Who We Support

We work with manufacturers operating across the Goa industrial belts:

• Exporters (API & FPP): Requiring validation documentation aligned with WHO-GMP/ICH Q7 to support CoPP/WC applications to the CDSCO West Zone.

• CDMOs/Contract Manufacturers: Needing robust, client-specific validation packages for Technology Transfer and Clinical Batch Manufacturing, ensuring regulatory compliance across multiple markets.

• MSMEs: Requiring a Gap Analysis and documentation upgrade plan to meet the mandatory Revised Schedule M compliance deadline.
