Summary:

Certification marks, similar to USDA Organic or Energy Star labels, have the potential to improve the perception and oversight of generic drug quality. Independent certification marks could be a cost-effective way to effectively communicate drug quality information to purchasers, incentivize manufacturers to exceed baseline quality standards, and improve consumer confidence in the generic drug supply.
