The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has introduced fast-track registration to allow entrepreneurs to manufacture or import protective facemasks and help meet continually rising demand.

 

FDA deputy secretary-general Dr Surachoke Tangwiwat said several entrepreneurs are interested in importing masks while the Covid-19 situation persists.

 

“The FDA requires entrepreneurs who wish to import or produce facemasks to obtain its permission first,” he said.

 

“Prospective importers can complete this fast-track registration within one day if the proper documents about the manufacturer and the product are submitted, such as labelling, design details and intended purpose.”

 

Those wanting to manufacture masks domestically will also be subject to site inspections, Surachoke said.

 

He affirmed the FDA’s readiness to facilitate such contributions to ensure that medical personnel and laymen alike have access to safe, high-quality products.
