As technology advances and markets globalize, TFDA is committed to digital transformation, aligning with international digital trends. Starting from July 31, 2024 beside hard copy, the TFDA also began issuing digital GMP certificates, which include a digital signature. These digital certificates are encrypted using a digital signature that meets the global Adobe Approved Trust List and Taiwan’s Electronic Signatures Act, can quickly verify via scanning QR code or uploading PDF file to a verification platform, and more than a thousand times verifications have been conducted since plateform launched, clearly demonstrating that the global competitiveness of Taiwan’s pharmaceutical manufactures has been effectively boosted.
The TFDA emphasizes its commitment to ensuring that the public has access to pharmaceutical products of equivalent to those found in advanced contries, and enhancing the international competitiveness of Taiwan's pharmaceutical manufacturers. TFDA will continue to enhance the management of pharmaceutical manufacturers, align with the policy of digital governance, and strive to achieve the goal of guaranteeing the safety and quality of pharmaceuticals for the World.
