OBTAINING NAFDAC APPROVAL FOR CHEMICAL MANUFACTURING IN NIGERIA

Chemical manufacturing is a regulated activity in Nigeria which comes under the purview of the National Agency for Food and Drug Administration and Control (NAFDAC). NAFDAC, through the Chemical Evaluation & Research Directorate, monitors activities relating to the importation, exportation, sales, distribution, as well as manufacturing of chemicals. Therefore, a NAFDAC approval must first be sought and obtained before commencing any form of chemical manufacturing in Nigeria.

A NAFDAC approval for chemical manufacturing is known as a “Listing”. Upon compliance with certain regulatory requirements, an applicant is recognized and enlisted as a chemical manufacturer in Nigeria, and issued a Certificate in respect of same. A “Listing as a Chemical Manufacturer” or “Listing Certificate” authorizes a company to carry out any form of chemical manufacturing activity whether dilution, blending or even outright formation of chemicals and allied products.

CHEMICAL SUBSTANCES

It is important to note that the chemicals covered by the NAFDAC in this regard include any substance, mixture of substances prepared, element in its pure form or substance in an article sold or represented for domestic or industrial use as raw material, finished/semi-finished product, laboratory reagent, industrial chemicals and diagnostic reagent.

Others include ink, paint, adhesives, wood preservatives & polishers, cleaning chemicals, agrochemicals, biocides, fertilizers car care chemicals and so on. Or any other substance or mixture of substances which NAFDAC may after consultation with its council declare to be a chemical substance.

COMPLIANCE REQUIREMENTS

To obtain a Listing, there are certain regulatory requirements which must be satisfied. These regulatory obligations largely bother on the NAFDAC requirements for proper documentation, personnel, as well as safety standards to be maintained by an applicant company.

In other words, NAFDAC will require an applicant company to present documents showing specific details about the company and its managers, employ personnel who possess adequate knowledge about the use and handling of chemicals, and ensure that health and safety measures are observed on the facility intended for the storage and production of chemicals.
