ISO 15378 — "Primary packaging materials for medicinal products — Particular requirements for the application of ISO 9001, with reference to Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP)" — is the international standard for manufacturers of packaging that comes into direct contact with medicines: vials, bottles, blister packs, closures, and similar materials in glass, plastic, rubber, and aluminium. London Cert Ltd conducts the audit directly, and your certificate is issued with genuine IAF accreditation through our accredited certification partner.
ISO 15378 takes the full ISO 9001 quality management structure and layers in GMP-specific requirements unique to pharmaceutical packaging: contamination control, cleanroom and environmental monitoring where relevant, change control for materials that could affect drug stability or safety, and full traceability from raw material through to the finished packaging component reaching a pharmaceutical manufacturer's line. Because primary packaging is in direct contact with the medicinal product itself, even small defects — a contaminated vial, an ill-fitting closure — can compromise drug safety, sterility, or shelf life.
The standard is recognised across the world's major pharmaceutical regulatory regimes — the US Code of Federal Regulations, European directives, and Indian regulations all reference GMP principles that ISO 15378 operationalises specifically for packaging manufacturers.

Why we don't publish exact prices: ISO 15378 Certification certification cost depends on your specific company size, number of locations, number of employees, industry, and documentation complexity. A fixed published price would either overcharge small businesses or undercharge complex ones. Contact us for a personalised, binding quote within 24 hours — specific to your business.
More employees = more audit time. Audit duration is directly tied to your employee count and the scope of operations being certified.
Each additional location may require separate or extended audit time. Multi-site certifications are priced accordingly — contact us to discuss.

India's pharmaceutical manufacturing sector is going through its most significant compliance overhaul in decades. Revised Schedule M, notified in January 2024 and binding on all Indian drug manufacturers as of 2026 (large manufacturers were required to comply by mid-2024; MSME manufacturers had an extended deadline to 31 December 2025), brings Indian GMP requirements substantially closer to WHO-GMP, EU-GMP, and US FDA expectations. It introduces structured Pharmaceutical Quality Systems (PQS), Product Quality Review (PQR), Quality Risk Management (QRM), and — critically for packaging suppliers — rigorous, risk-based vendor qualification of raw material and packaging suppliers.
This is where ISO 15378 becomes directly relevant to your business even if you never manufacture the drug itself: pharmaceutical manufacturers under Revised Schedule M scrutiny now need to demonstrate robust auditing of their packaging vendors as part of their own compliance. An ISO 15378-certified packaging supplier gives pharma manufacturers exactly the internationally recognised, audited evidence their own Revised Schedule M vendor qualification file needs — turning your certification into a genuine sales advantage, not just a compliance cost. With only around 2,000 of India's roughly 10,500 pharmaceutical manufacturing units currently holding WHO-GMP certification, and CDSCO conducting monthly risk-based inspections, demand for qualified, certified packaging suppliers is intensifying.
Critical: Only certificates issued by IAF-accredited bodies are genuinely valid for GeM, CPPP, and international procurement. India has thousands of fraudulent ISO bodies selling unaccredited certificates that are regularly rejected by compliance teams. London Cert is IAF-accredited — every ISO 15378 certificate we issue is verifiable at verify.londoncert.co.uk.

Enables MSME Scheme AccessIn competitive pitches, the certified vendor wins more often. Clients choose certified vendors — especially in manufacturing, IT, construction, and food processing — for perceived reliability and quality commitment.
Higher Win Rate in Competitive Bids“Buyers overseas verified our ISO 15378 Certification certificate directly on London Cert's portal before signing off — that verifiability made a real difference in closing an export contract.”
“As a small business, we were worried about cost and complexity. London Cert scoped the ISO 15378 Certification audit to our actual size — no unnecessary paperwork, and it unlocked an MSME scheme we didn't know we qualified for.”
“Renewal for our ISO 15378 Certification certificate was straightforward — the surveillance audit was scheduled well in advance and the auditor's feedback actually helped us tighten our documentation.”
Your ISO 15378 certificate is valid for 3 years. To maintain validity:
London Cert manages your full surveillance and recertification schedule. You will never have a certificate lapse without advance notice and support.
Simple service businesses have fewer process documents than complex manufacturing operations. Documentation scope directly affects cost.
If you already have some quality management processes documented, less preparation work is needed — which can reduce the overall cost.
Remote audits are available for all businesses and are typically more cost-effective. On-site audits are available for clients who need or prefer physical presence.
Most certification companies require you to hire a separate consultant to prepare documentation — and then pay the certification company for the audit on top. London Cert does both. This integrated approach saves time and significantly reduces total cost.
