GMP Pathway

GMP requirements for cannabis-based medicines in Romania (EEA member)

GMP Verified 2026-04-20

Workflow steps

  1. GMP Assessment
    Determine which GMP pathway applies to your cannabis-based medicine for the Romanian market. Romania is an EEA member — EU-GMP is the national standard.
  2. EU-GMP Part I Required — Finished product
    All finished cannabis-based medicines imported into Romania must be manufactured under EU-GMP Part I. As an EEA member, Romania directly applies EU pharmaceutical legislation.
    • EU-GMP Part I certificate (current, cannabis scope)
    • Certificate issued by any EEA competent authority
    • GACP certificate for cultivation site
    • QP at importing entity for batch release
  3. Manufacturer location?
    Where is the manufacturing site? This determines whether ANMDM accepts the GMP certificate directly or requires additional steps.
  4. EEA Authority Certificate — Directly accepted
    EEA competent authority issues EU-GMP Part I directly. Fully accepted by ANMDM with no additional steps. Romania recognizes all EEA-issued GMP certificates.
    • Any EEA authority (ANSM, IMB, PEI, AGES, etc.)
    • Certificate directly valid for Romanian import
    • QP batch release at importing entity
  5. PIC/S Member Certificate — ANMDM accepts EEA + PIC/S
    ANMDM accepts GMP certificates from PIC/S members as equivalent. This includes TGA (Australia), Health Canada, MHRA (UK), and other PIC/S authorities.
    • TGA (Australia) — accepted
    • Health Canada — accepted
    • MHRA UK — accepted under MRA
    • Certificate must cover cannabis manufacturing scope
  6. QP Release in Romania
    Regardless of origin, all batches must be QP-certified by a Qualified Person named on a Romanian or EEA manufacturing authorization before distribution to hospital pharmacies.
    • QP named on EEA manufacturing authorization
    • QP certifies compliance batch-by-batch
    • QP batch certificate required for hospital pharmacy supply
