Important Notice from the EDQM to CEP Holders - Warning of Fraudulent Invoices
On the Road to 30,000 Members
Let us become the World's Leading GMP/GDP Compliance Community in 2026
In a press release from 21 May 2012, the EDQM (European Directorate for the Quality of Medicines & HealthCare), declared that some CEP holders may have recently received an invoice from an organisation which calls itself "Directory for Certificates of Suitability" (DCEP), asking them to pay a fee to include their CEPs in a "Directory".
The EDQM expressly states that these invoices haven't been sent by the EDQM and that holders of CEPs do not require their CEPs to be registered in any directory.
Find more information on the EDQM Website and in the press release.
