Thailand: TFDA Activates New e-Certificate System (w.e.f. 1 May 2025)

Beginning 1 May 2025, in a significant move toward digital transformation, Thailand’s Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has officially launched its e-Certificate system, an innovative online platform aimed at streamlining the certification process for health-related products. All entrepreneurs will be able to request FDA health product certifications exclusively through the system.

This development is part of the nation’s broader Digital Government Development plan and aligns closely with the government policy on advancing the health economy through digitalization.

The e-Certificate platform is designed with the entrepreneur in mind. It enables users to request and receive health product certificates anytime, anywhere, bringing convenience and efficiency to the forefront. The system retains the familiar user experience of the existing e-Submission system, but integrates enhanced features such as:

These features collectively ensure faster processing times, increase transparency, and greater security in document handling. For health product manufacturers, importers, and distributors, this advancement offers time and cost savings, secure and paperless processing, and quicker access to local and global markets.

The advancement of the e-Certificate system stands as a clear reflection of Thailand FDA’s commitment to fostering innovation, enhancing competitiveness, and promoting high-performance organizational practices. By reducing administrative bottlenecks and embracing digital technologies, this government-led initiative is posed to strengthen business confidence and expedite market readiness for both local and international stakeholders. In an increasingly interconnected global health economy, digital transformation is no longer a choice – it is a strategic imperative.
