About the GDP Association
The Good Distribution Practice Group was founded in March 2013 – then as an Interest Group. In November 2016 it was transferred to the European GDP Association and today counts close to 1.900 members from almost 80 countries. The Association represents all stakeholders e.g. from Pharmaceutical Industry, Authorities and Logistic Providers and supports them by providing them with information about the implementation of GDP. Although it has a strong focus on European GDP Regulations and their implementation into the different EU member states, it also supports harmonisation of the requirements with other regions of the world - wherever medicinal products, APIs, Excipients, etc are distributed.

The Association is a not for profit organisation under the umbrella of the ECA Foundation. Due to this support, the European GDP Association is able to offer a free membership to all individuals involved in Good Distribution Practice.
