Certificate of Drug Master File (DMF) for Symetal’s lacquered blister foil

In an effort to continuously meet customer requirements, Symetal set out on a project to have its lacquered blister foil products (20 - 30 microns) registered with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) under a Drug Master File (DMF) number.
 
A Drug Master File (DMF) is a submission to the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) that may be used to provide confidential detailed information about facilities, processes, or articles used in the manufacturing, processing, packaging, and storing of one or more human drugs. The submission of a DMF is not required by law or FDA regulation.

There are five types of DMF's:
 
  • Type I Manufacturing Site, Facilities, Operating Procedures, and Personnel
  • Type II Drug Substance, Drug Substance Intermediate, and Material Used in Their Preparation, or Drug Product
  • Type III Packaging Material
  • Type IV Excipient, Colorant, Flavor, Essence, or Material Used in Their Preparation
  • Type V FDA Accepted Reference Information 
 
For the purposes of this application, the DMF for our lacquered blister foil (20 - 30 microns) is classified as Type III Packaging Material. In this context, a DMF is a useful mechanism to market our products to the U.S. Drug Industry.
