What is a Site Licence?

A Site Licence is an official document issued by Health Canada to facilities engaged in manufacturing, packaging, labeling, or importing Natural Health Products. These facilities must demonstrate compliance with Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP) and meet the safety and hygiene standards established by the Canadian government to obtain a Site Licence.

A Site Licence provides a designated 6-digit identifying number for that site (a site licence number). A valid Site Licence must be held by all facilities involved in manufacturing, packaging, labeling, and/or importing NHPs for Canadian regulatory compliance.

A Site Licence specifies the approved activities for that particular facility as recognized by the Canadian government.
