Bedrocan becomes world first GMP approved medicinal cannabis producer

Medicinal cannabis producer, Bedrocan, has become the first company of its kind to be compliant with the European Medicines Agency’s good manufacturing practice (GMP) standards.  

The company is based in the Netherlands and was inspected by the Dutch Health Care Inspectorate.

The GMP certification marks Bedrocan as the first medicinal cannabis producer in the world to be granted the accreditation. The GMP certificate is the highest standard a medicine manufacturer must meet in its production process.

Tjalling Erkelens, chairman of Bedrocan International, said: “This is a significant recognition. We have always aimed to meet the highest pharmaceutical standards. Now our way of working is officially recognised by the authorities.”
