We make it simple
In order to market some products, they must be submitted to a process of administrative authorization. This process exists to safeguard the public health, ensuring the quality of products as drugs, food, cosmetics, chemicals, biologicals, and medical devices.
In Nigeria, The National Agency for Food and Drug Administration and Control (NAFDAC), which is a Nigerian federal agency under the Federal Ministry of Health, is responsible for regulating and controlling the manufacture, importation, exportation, advertisement, distribution of the products above-mentioned.
How can we help
Inventa guarantees you a comprehensive consulting service throughout the food and drugs approval process. This service involves a careful analysis of your product, frequent state-of-play updates after consultations with public authorities, and reports indicating any adjustments needed to ensure your business is perfectly in line with the legal framework.
The service will help prevent and reduce the risk of problems that may affect the validity of your products on the market and in various other areas.
Process
It is necessary a written application letter addressed to the Director of NAFDAC. The application should state the names of the manufacturer and the product(s). The form(s) should be duly completed, signed and submitted with all the mandatory documents.
The mandatory documents are analyzed by officials of the Legal Department of NAFDAC to ensure compliance with guidelines.
Following the vetting of the documents, some samples of the products to be registered are vetted, to confirm that the product labeling/packaging comply with NAFDAC requirements.
Additional samples of the product (a number to be determined by the NAFDAC on the relevant import permit), to be shipped to Nigeria on the basis of the import permit would be required at this stage. The lab analysis will be conducted on these additional samples, with a view to ensuring that the ingredients in, and components of the products are not injurious to human health.
The reports of the laboratory analysis as well as the on-site factory inspection are forwarded to the NAFDAC Approval Committees for Approval.
If the reports are satisfactory, and the product is approved, the Approval fee falls due for payment.
A NAFDAC Registration Number is thereafter allotted to the product. The applicant may then deal in the products pending the issuance of the Certificate/License.
If successful, it will be issued a Certificate/License to operate in the country.
This process, dedicated to the approval of food and drugs, is always supported by the guarantee of complete confidentiality and transparency every step of the way.
