What must be ensured about licenses for manufacturers and wholesalers?

The requirement that each location must have its own license for operation is rooted in the regulatory framework governing pharmaceutical manufacturing and wholesaling. This ensures that each facility meets both state and federal standards for safety, quality control, and compliance. By having individual licenses, regulatory bodies can effectively monitor each site for adherence to regulations and can take action against specific locations if necessary.

Furthermore, this requirement helps protect the integrity of the supply chain, ensuring that all products are handled and distributed in compliance with specific local laws and regulations. If licenses could be shared across multiple locations, it would complicate oversight and potentially lead to lapses in compliance or accountability.

Individual licensing helps to ensure that facilities are equipped and staffed to handle the operations they undertake, thus minimizing the risk of errors or violations that could impact public health.
