A verification proceeding during the registration (notification) of a dietary supplement.
When doubts arise in regard to the intention to introduce or the introduction of a dietary supplements GIS institutes a verification based on Article 31 of the Food and Nutrition Safety Act (Dz.U. 2006 r. nr 171, poz. 12250). There are two types of verification proceedings:
1. First one investigates all the matters other than testing whether the product meets the qualifications of a drug, cosmetic, medical device. During this proceeding, GIS can inspect virtually any question regarding the supplement, e.g. name, composition, marking.
2. The second one verifies the type of a product, ensuring that it is a supplement and not, for example, a drug. When in doubt as to the potential medicinal nature of the product GIS is obligated to request an opinion of the Office for Registration of Medicinal Products, Medical Devices and Biocidal Products.
