QP services for EU & UK markets

Our experienced QPs will help you streamline your product in its journey from clinical trial to market release, giving you confidence that your drug product has been processed and released in compliance with GMP regulations.

We act as QP for MIA holders under TQA with a dedicated job description and well-trained to the specific requirements set out in the QMS. We support both EU and UK drug product batch certification and release.

Our QPs are able to accept personal and legal responsibility, as defined by European and UK legislation, to process the medicinal products entering the EU and UK market following GMP principles and manufactured in accordance with their Marketing Authorisation.

  • Would you like an independent audit of a manufacturer or supplier?

    Our QPs perform independent GMP audits of manufacturers, laboratories and suppliers, and deliver a clear audit report with findings and practical recommendations.

  • Do you need help setting up or improving your quality system?

  • Are you importing medicinal products into the EU and need QP certification?

    Medicinal products imported into the EU must be certified by a Qualified Person before release, and we provide exactly that certification for the MIA holder. M.P.C.A. International supports importers with EU and UK GMP compliance.

Frequently asked questions

Qualified Person & GMP

Who can act as a Qualified Person (QP) in Belgium?
A Qualified Person is an accredited Industrial Pharmacists and experienced person, legally responsible for certifying that each batch of a medicinal product has been manufactured and tested in compliance with GMP and the marketing authorisation before it is released. M.P.C.A. International provides experienced QPs for batch certification and release.
What does QP batch release involve?
Batch release is the process by which a Qualified Person reviews the manufacturing and testing records of a batch and certifies that it complies with GMP and the marketing authorisation. Only after QP certification a batch can be placed on the market. We provide this service for both investigational and commercial medicinal products.
What is GMP and how do you support compliance?
GMP (Good Manufacturing Practice) is the minimum standard a medicines manufacturer must meet in their production processes. We support GMP compliance through audit programmes, inspection preparation, quality system support and QP oversight.
Do you provide QP services for investigational medicinal products?
Yes. Our Qualified Persons can certify and release both investigational medicinal products (for clinical trials) and commercial medicinal products.
How can I request a Qualified Person?
