Croda Chocques awarded GMP certificate

The certificate demonstrates that the Croda site in France manufactures pharmaceutical excipients according to the EXCiPACT GMP certification standard.

This is the third Croda site in Europe to receive EXCiPACT certification since 2014 and is the 24th site to be certified globally to date.

EU and US pharmaceutical regulations now require drug manufacturers to conduct their own or commission third-party physical audits of all their starting material suppliers to demonstrate GMP and GDP compliance.

SGS ICS France, who awarded Croda its certificate, had to undergo an assessment process in order to be EXCiPACT registered.
