Accreditation
DEC Pharmaceutical has achieved FDA approval into the highly regulated US health market, and equivalent registrations (like MedSafe or TGA), assembling to ISO-13485 in our GMP facility.
We use our GMP capabilities to develop and manufacture Controlled Drug Release devices and other human and animal health products. Our products have received FDA certification, and as such, our product and process quality levels are routinely audited to ensure they are among the best globally.
Our manufacturing standards are measure and maintained by a commitment to industry benchmarks including DIFOT (three-year consistent level of 100%); manufacturing to plan (constant at 100%); and Right First Time measures.
