Given the ongoing integration of the global pharmaceutical market, drug and medical device manufacturers are subject to inspections by GMP authorities from different countries. Whether foreign companies entering the Chinese market or domestic companies expanding internationally, all face significant challenges in responding to on-site inspections within unfamiliar regulatory systems. Companies often lack adequate preparation due to unfamiliarity with target market regulations, regulatory and cultural differences, language barriers, inspection processes, and inexperience - leading to inspection failures and even affect product launch timelines and corporate reputation.
gempex leverages the global expertise (covering China, the U.S., and Europe) and comprehensive regulatory knowledge to provide professional support for domestic and foreign official inspections. We have a deep understanding of the differences in regulatory requirements and key focus areas across major markets, enabling us to help companies quickly identify gaps and develop effective response strategies. Our services not only enhance inspection readiness through customized training and mock inspections but also provide on-site interpretation and emergency support during inspections to ensure smooth communication and appropriate responses. Until now, we have successfully guided numerous companies pass the GMP inspections by official authorities such as NMPA, FDA, and EMA, supporting their products’ entry into target markets.
