n=640 plants · FDA + EDQM joined register Authoritative

More than 640 plants in the live register carry both active FDA registration and at least one EDQM CEP. The Indian cohort dominates the volume tier (Apex Healthcare, Anuh Pharma, Apicore, Ami Lifesciences, BGP Healthcare). The Chinese cohort grew through the late 2010s and now spans Anqiu Lu'an, Changzhou Pharmaceutical, Chongqing Carelife, and the Hubei / Hebei cluster. European plants (Arevipharma, Bachem) anchor the high-spec tier. The pool is the trans-Atlantic supply default for any buyer running both US and EU sourcing.

Why a buyer runs it

One plant, two markets, one qualification.

Trans-Atlantic ready.

Dual-accredited plants can serve both US ANDA filings and EU MA applications from the same facility. The buyer qualifies once and runs both pathways.

Quality system signal.

Maintaining both FDA registration and EDQM CEP requires sustained investment in dual-system QA. Dual coverage is a leading indicator of audit readiness on either side.

CEP count is the depth signal.

Plants with 20+ active CEPs have scaled their EU presence across many molecules. Plants with one or two CEPs may be entering. The chip surfaces the depth.

Refreshes monthly.

FDA continuous and EDQM monthly registers normalise to a monthly catalog refresh. Coverage transitions propagate on the next refresh.

More than 640 plants currently carry both FDA registration and an active EDQM CEP. The Indian cohort (Macleods, Micro Labs, Chromo, MSN Pharmachem) dominates by volume; the European cohort (Arevipharma, Bachem, Aspen Oss) anchors the high-spec specialty tier; the Chinese cohort (Changzhou Pharmaceutical, Chongqing Carelife, Hubei Honch) is the rising mid-tier. Buyers running both US and EU sourcing default to this pool.

Dual-accredited (FDA + EDQM) plants are the default trans-Atlantic supply pool. PharmaDB cross-resolves the FDA registration and EDQM CEP registers at the canonical plant catalog and surfaces the qualifying cohort with inspection class. The view rests on plant_accreditations and plants. Refresh cadence is monthly.

FAQ

Frequently asked

Why is FDA + EDQM the canonical dual?+

It's the most commercially material combination: the US and the EU are the two largest regulated generics markets. A plant with both accreditations is ready to serve more than 60 percent of regulated-market API demand from a single facility.

What does 'FDA registered' actually mean here?+

The plant has an active FDA Establishment Identifier (FEI) and is registered as a drug manufacturer with the FDA. It does not by itself mean every product made there is approved; that's the DMF / ANDA layer. The plant-level FDA chip indicates the facility is in the FDA's surveillance pool.

Do dual-accredited Chinese plants typically have NAI inspections?+

The cohort is mixed. Older anchor plants (Changzhou Pharmaceutical, Chongqing Carelife) carry VAI or NAI; some newer entrants are still in VAI as they mature their CAPA function. PharmaDB surfaces inspection class on every row so buyers see the mix.

How does this relate to the multi-regulator view?+

Dual FDA + EDQM is the most common two-regulator combination. The multi-regulator view (three or more accreditations) is a stricter superset; plants in the tri+ tier all carry FDA + EDQM as the floor.

Are GMP-only accreditations counted?+

Yes. The cohort uses GMP-level FDA registration and any active EDQM CEP. Product-level filtering (specific DMF, specific CEP) is a layer on top, queryable through the AI agent with the same prompt structure.

How fresh is the data?+

Monthly. FDA registration is continuous; EDQM CEP register publishes monthly. PharmaDB normalises to a monthly catalog refresh; the catalog row carries an as-of timestamp.
