3. ❖ Introduction
• The Central Drugs Standard Control Organization is the national regulatory body for Indian
pharmaceuticals and medical devices, and serves parallel function to the European Medicines
Agency of the European Union, the Pharmaceutical and Medical Devices Agency (PMDA) of Japan
and the Food and Drug Administration of the United States.
• It’s Head quarter is located at FDA Bhawan, Kotla Road, New Delhi and functions under the
Directorate General of Health Services.
• Within the CDSCO, the Drug Controller General of India (DCGI)regulates pharmaceuticals and
medical devices.
• The DCGI is advised by the Drug Technical Advisory Board (DTAB) and the Drug Consultative
Committee (DCC).
• It is divided into zonal offices which do pre-licensing and post-licensing inspections, post-market
surveillance, and recalls when needed.

6. Laboratories Of CDSCO
➢Six laboratories-
•Central Drugs Laboratory (CDL) Kolkata
•Central Drugs Testing Laboratory (CDTL) Chennai
•Central Drugs Testing Laboratory (CDTL) Mumbai
•Regional Drug Testing Laboratory (RDTL) Guwahati
•Regional Drug Testing Laboratory (RDTL) Chandigarh
•Central Drugs Laboratory (CDL) Kasuali

8. ❖SUGAM {online licensing portal} –
An online licensing portal of CDSCO to file application for various services like application
submission, processing and grant of permission for quick delivery of services.
SUGAM Benefits:
•Applicant can apply license under import and registration division to CDSCO.
•Track the status of application through online. Answer back to raised queries.
•Applicant can also upload essential documents for registration import license and other
related activities.

10. ❖Guidelines
➢Various guidelines are included-
•Guidelines for new drug
•Guidelines for medical devices and diagnostics
•Guidelines for cosmetics
•Guidelines for biological
•Guidelines for clinical trials
•Guidelines for BA BE studies
•Guidelines for post approval changes.
•Guidelines for import, manufacturing, sale and distribution of drugs, cosmetics, medical devices, biologicals etc.
•Guidelines for blood banks.

11. ❖Common Technical Document-Guideline (CTD)
•Demonstration of safety and efficacy of the drug product for use in humans is essential before the drug product
can be approved for import or manufacturing of new drug by the applicant by CDSCO. The regulations under
Drugs and Cosmetics Rules 122A, 122B and 122D and further Appendix I, IA and VI of Schedule Y, describe
the information required for approval of an application to import or manufacture of new drug for marketing.
•Substantial documentation for such types of submissions are required, creating number of hurdles and resulting
in unnecessary delay in approval. So the common format for submission was developed through The
International Council for Harmonisation (ICH) for Japan, EU, and US called CTD (common technical
document).

22. ❖Cosmetics
➢Import
•Statement to accompany imported cosmetics-
All consignments of cosmetics sought to be imported shall be accompanied by an invoice or statement showing the
