What happens to a manufacturer when the AO recognition is revoked?

To stay in the program, a manufacturer would need to apply for certification with another AO.

The impact of a cessation of recognition or the revocation of the authorization to audit, under the MDSAP, may affect a large number of manufacturers. The event should not directly affect any existing marketing authorization. Nevertheless, MDSAP RAs may need to consider individual or collective transitional arrangements to assure existing or potential public health risks are mitigated.
