FDA Registration

FDA Food Facility Registration

The FDA Food Registration in the United States is effective as of December 12, 2003. The Public Health Security and Bioterrorism Preparedness and Response Act of 2002, also known as the “Bioterrorism Act,” instructs the Department of Health and Human Services’ food regulatory agency. The so-called Food and Drug Administration (US FDA) will take action to protect the public from a terrorist assault on the US food supply, as well as other food-related emergencies.

To comply with the above provisions of the Bioterrorism Act, FDA established the following mandatory regulations:

• All Food Facilities Register with FDA so-called “FDA Registration.”
• Prior information on shipments of imported food to FDA so-called “Prior Notice.”

Manufacturers, distributors, owners, operators, or agents in charge who are responsible for the selling of food for use in the United States must register the facility with the FDA. The FDA is responsible for ensuring that foods sold in the United States are nutritious, wholesome, and properly labeled under the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (FD&C Act) and the Equal Packaging and Labeling Act.

FDA Food Facility Registration can be completed in less than 8 hours.  The laws refer to both domestically grown foods and foods imported from other countries.

Regulatory requirements describe what is necessary for a new drug to be approved for use in patients, further; it requires environment, process controls, documentation, and quality system requirements for the manufacturing of drugs and cosmetics.  The Food and Drug Administration in the United States of America is responsible for establishing and monitoring these regulatory standards. The nuances of the rules, as well as their own mechanisms for gaining regulatory approval, make it extremely difficult to obtain and comply with the requirements. Due to the growing costs of meeting various country requirements, an International Conference on Harmonization was created (ICH).

In the United States of America, it is the function of the Food and Drug Administration to establish and monitor these regulatory requirements. The complexities in the laws and their own methods for obtaining regulatory approval make the task of getting and complying with the requirements made very difficult. The rising cost of meeting various country requirements led to the establishment of an International Conference on Harmonization (ICH). The ICH came up with common requirements accepted by all.

National Drug Code (NDC)

National Drug Code (NDC Code)is a ten-digit unique product identifier number for human drugs.

• The second segment of the NDC Labeler code identifies the drug (strength, dosage, and formulation)
• The third segment of the NDC Labeler code identifies the package size and package type

The second and third segments of the NDC Code are assigned by the labeler/owner.

NDC code requests to FDA should submit in SPL (structured Product Labelling) format via FDA ESG (electronic submission gateway).

The Route of FDA Medical Device Registration

Those involved in the manufacture and sale of FDA medical devices for commercial distribution in the United States must register with the FDA annually. The majority of establishments that are expected to register must also list the devices.

If a device requires premarket approval or notification before being marketed in the U.S., the owner/operator should also submit the FDA premarket submission number/510k. The requirements for FDA Medical Device Registration and listing are based on the type of activity performed at that establishment. All initial importers must review the list of manufacturers of your imported devices. All foreign establishments must review your list of known importers for each of your exported devices. If this information has not been entered previously, it must be entered during the annual registration period to complete registration for the current fiscal year.

Cosmetic Facility Registration (US FDA)

Cosmetics are exempted from FDA premarket approval or mandatory establishment registration or ingredient reporting. The manufacturer’s responsibility is to ensure that their cosmetic products and ingredients are safe and properly labeled, fully compliant with US FDA regulations.

The Voluntary Cosmetic Registration Program (VCRP) is an FDA post-market reporting system for use by manufacturers, packers, and distributors of cosmetic products that are in commercial distribution in the US. There are two parts to the FDA Voluntary Cosmetic Registration program; you may participate in both parts of the program or only one part.

The VCRP applies only to cosmetic products sold in the United States. It does not apply to cosmetic products for professional use only, such as products used in beauty salons, spas, or skincare clinics. It also does not apply to hotel samples or gifts, or cosmetic products you make in your home to sell to your friends.
