DUNS requirement for FDA registration

A DUNS Number (Data Universal Numbering System Number) is a unique 9-digit identifier for businesses, issued by Dun & Bradstreet (D&B). It helps verify a company’s identity and establish a business credit file.

A valid DUNS Number is required for FDA registration. The DUNS number serves as a unique facility identifier (UFI), helping the FDA verify business locations and prevent duplicate or fraudulent entries.

Different types of registrations in FDA:

1. Food Facility Registration

  • The Food Safety Modernization Act (FSMA) requires domestic and foreign food facilities to provide a valid DUNS number when registering or renewing their registration with the FDA. This includes facilities that manufacture, process, pack, or hold food for consumption in the U.S.

2. Drug Establishment Registration

  • For domestic and foreign drug establishments, the FDA requires a DUNS number when registering an establishment or when creating a user fee account to make OMUFA, PDUFA & GDUFA payments.

3. Medical Devices Establishment Registration

  • A DUNS number is typically needed for foreign establishments registering their medical devices with the FDA and for creating user fee account to make MDUFA payments to FDA.

What is SPL?

SPL stands for Structured Product Labeling. SPL is an XML-based document markup standard that provides a consistent way to format and organize information about a drug or cosmetic product, including its ingredients, labels and other details.

Drug & Cosmetic companies are required to submit product information to the FDA in SPL format. SPL is used for various FDA submissions related to FDA regulated products. It is designed to improve the accuracy and consistency of product information and make it easier for healthcare professionals, regulators, and the public to access and understand this information. Some of the key FDA submissions that utilize SPL include:

  1. Drug Establishment Registration – Manufacturers of drug products must register their facilities with the FDA, and SPL is used for this purpose.
  2. Drug Listing – Manufacturers and distributors of drug products are required to list their products with the FDA. SPL is used to provide comprehensive product information for the FDA’s NDC Directory.
  3. Drug Renewals & Listing updates – Annual Drug renewals & any changes to a drug product’s label or listing info, must be submitted to the FDA using SPL.
  4. Cosmetic Facility Registration – Manufacturers & processors of cosmetic products must register their facilities with the FDA, and SPL is used for this purpose.
  5. Cosmetic Product Listing – A responsible person must list the cosmetic products with FDA by way of SPL submissions.
  6. Cosmetic Renewals & Listing updates – Annual Cosmetic renewals & any changes to a cosmetic product’s label or listing info, must be submitted to the FDA using SPL.
