The catalog indexes 23,714 inspection cycles across seven regulators. The FDA covers 18,639 cycles; ZLG (Germany) covers 1,945; ANSM (France) 1,481; BPOM (Indonesia) 830; MFDS (South Korea) 615; SAHPRA (South Africa) 204. A plant's compliance picture is the union of every regulator's view, and plants that ship into multiple regulated markets typically carry cycles from three to five agencies. The ranking below is by regulator-cycle volume.

Save the global compliance dossier.

Citation-anchored brief with the cross-regulator history, classification consistency, and a coverage chip showing which regulators have inspected the plant.

Why a buyer runs it

Compliance across every market.

Union view, not subset.

A plant inspected by FDA, EMA, and ANSM carries three views. The dossier merges them at the plant entity so the buyer sees the full picture, not just the FDA cycle.

Classification consistency.

Regulators sometimes disagree. A VAI from FDA and a non-compliance report from EMA at the same plant is a red flag the single-regulator view would miss.

Coverage chip.

Which regulators have inspected the plant in the last five years. A plant with FDA-only coverage may be a different qualification candidate than one with FDA plus EMA plus PMDA.

Cross-regulator enforcement overlay.

Warning letters, EMA non-compliance reports, ANSM injunctions, and EDQM suspensions all overlay on the same plant. The combined enforcement picture is the real risk view.

Intas Ahmedabad carries fourteen inspection cycles across four regulators: FDA (8 cycles), ZLG (3), ANSM (2), and PMDA (1). Classifications are consistent across regulators: VAI dominant with one NAI from ANSM in 2024. Observation density is roughly 3.5 per cycle, below the India-country average of 4.2. The plant is qualifiable for multi-regulator export with a stronger CAPA evidence file at the FDA cycle. No active enforcement is on record.

The multi-regulator history is the global compliance dossier per plant. PharmaDB joins inspections from seven regulator feeds to the same plant entity and normalises classifications. The view is inspections grouped by plant_id and regulator. Refresh cadence varies per regulator from weekly to monthly.

FAQ

Frequently asked

Why does multi-regulator coverage matter?+

A plant inspected by FDA, EMA, and PMDA has been through three independent quality reviews. A plant with FDA-only coverage has been through one. Multi-regulator coverage is itself a quality signal: agencies do not duplicate each other's findings exactly, and consistent passing across three regulators is the highest-confidence qualification.

Do regulators classify differently?+

Yes. FDA uses NAI / VAI / OAI. EMA uses non-compliance report binary. ANSM and ZLG use internal codes that map roughly to FDA equivalents. PharmaDB normalises classifications to a common scale and preserves the regulator-native code in the citation.

What does a classification conflict mean?+

A VAI from FDA and a non-compliance report from EMA at the same plant typically reflects different focus areas or different inspection windows. The dossier surfaces the conflict and the time-gap; both views matter for qualification.

How fresh is the data?+

FDA, ZLG, and ANSM refresh weekly. BPOM, MFDS, and SAHPRA refresh monthly. EMA non-compliance reports and EDQM CEP suspensions refresh as published. The catalog row carries the per-regulator refresh date.

Are EU GMP certificates included?+

Yes. EU GMP certificate issuance and renewals at the plant are tracked alongside inspection cycles. The certificate validity window is part of the multi-regulator view.

Can I filter by regulator?+

Yes. Single-regulator, multi-regulator, and union views are available. Useful for a buyer whose export footprint is concentrated in one or two markets and who does not need the full union picture.
