What does MANSA stand for?

• A. Manufacturer's authorisation
• B. Manufacturers' Authorization
• C. Manufacturer's Agreement
• D. Manufacturing and Standards Authority

Answer: (A)

MANSA is the formal license that lets a specific manufacturing site legally produce veterinary medicines. It’s the Manufacturer’s authorisation granted by the competent regulatory authority, confirming the facility meets requirements such as GMP, appropriate premises, qualified personnel, and a proper quality system. This authorization defines the scope—what can be manufactured, imported, or distributed—and ensures products are consistently produced and released under regulated controls. The other options describe a contract (manufacturer’s agreement), a pluralized/altered phrase that isn’t the standard term, or a non-existent authority, so they don’t fit the established naming of this regulatory permission.
