Compliance, Registrations, Audits & Training
Frequently Asked Questions
GAP Regulatory Consulting helps pharmaceutical, OTC, and cosmetic companies navigate FDA compliance with clarity and confidence. Below are answers to some of the most common questions we receive about establishment registration, product listing, WDD licensing, audits, and ongoing regulatory support.
Do I need to register my facility with the FDA?
If your company manufactures, repackages, relabels, or otherwise handles regulated pharmaceutical or cosmetic products, you may be required to register your facility with the FDA. Registration requirements vary depending on the type of product and your role in the supply chain. Understanding what applies to your business is an important first step in staying compliant. GAP Regulatory Consulting can help determine your obligations and guide you through the registration process.
What is drug product listing, and when is it required?
Drug product listing is the process of submitting required information about a drug product to the FDA. This typically includes details about the product, its manufacturer, and other identifying information. Listing is generally required for prescription and over-the-counter products. GAP Regulatory Consulting assists clients with preparing, submitting, and maintaining accurate product listings.
What is WDD licensing, and who needs it?
WDD licensing refers to Wholesale Drug Distributor licensing, which is required for certain businesses involved in distributing prescription drugs. Requirements can vary by state, and companies often need to meet both state and federal obligations. Because these requirements can be detailed and time-sensitive, it is important to have a clear understanding of what applies to your business. GAP Regulatory Consulting helps clients report their state licenses to the FDA.
How long does FDA registration or listing take?
The timeline can vary depending on the type of registration or listing, the completeness of the information provided, and whether additional corrections or follow-up actions are needed. Some submissions can move relatively quickly, while others may require more time due to complexity or missing information. Planning ahead is always the best approach, especially for annual renewals or product launches. GAP Regulatory Consulting works with clients to keep the process efficient and on track.
What happens if my company is not compliant?
Noncompliance can lead to delays, rejected submissions, licensing issues, warning letters, or other regulatory complications. Even minor errors can create larger problems if they are not corrected in a timely manner. Staying current with registrations, listings, and licensing requirements helps reduce risk and support smoother operations. GAP Regulatory Consulting helps clients identify compliance gaps and take practical steps toward resolution.
Do you help with audits or inspections?
Yes. GAP Regulatory Consulting provides support for companies preparing for regulatory audits or responding to compliance concerns.
