What What is a DIGESA/DIGEMID compliant warehouse?

A DIGESA/DIGEMID compliant warehouse is a storage facility that meets the specific regulatory standards established by Peru's General Directorate of Environmental Health (DIGESA) for food products, cosmetics, and household chemicals, and the General Directorate of Medicines, Supplies, and Drugs (DIGEMID) for pharmaceutical products, medical devices, and healthcare supplies.

These regulatory bodies establish requirements for facility construction, environmental controls, staff qualifications, operating procedures, documentation, and quality management systems. Warehouses must pass initial inspections and maintain ongoing compliance through regular audits, documentation updates, and adherence to prescribed operational standards.

Operating a compliant warehouse in Peru is not optional for businesses handling regulated products. Storing food, pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, or medical devices in non-compliant facilities can result in product seizure, fines, license revocation, and criminal liability.

DIGESA and DIGEMID warehouse requirements and compliance

DIGESA requirements apply to warehouses storing food products, beverages, food contact materials, cosmetics, and household chemical products. These requirements specify construction standards (impermeable floors, smooth walls, adequate lighting), temperature and humidity control, pest management programs, sanitation protocols, and staff health and hygiene standards.

DIGEMID requirements apply to warehouses storing pharmaceutical products, medical devices, and related healthcare supplies. These standards are more stringent and include validated temperature zones, Good Distribution Practices (GDP), qualified personnel (including a licensed pharmacist), serialization and traceability systems, quarantine areas, and detailed standard operating procedures for every handling step.

Interworld Freight's facilities meet both DIGESA and DIGEMID requirements, enabling us to store the full range of regulated products in a single, professionally managed location.

Registration requirements explained

Obtaining DIGESA or DIGEMID warehouse registration in Peru requires a formal application process that includes facility documentation, qualification of personnel, and initial inspection by the regulatory authority.

For DIGESA registration, applicants must submit facility plans, pest control contracts, sanitation protocols, and staff health certifications. The authority reviews documentation and conducts an on-site inspection to verify compliance before issuing the registration.

For DIGEMID registration, the process is more extensive and requires qualification of a responsible pharmacist, temperature mapping and validation reports, GDP documentation, quality management system documentation, and detailed standard operating procedures. DIGEMID inspectors verify every aspect of the facility and operations before granting the pharmaceutical warehouse license.

FAQ´s

DIGESA warehouse registration in Peru requires compliant facility infrastructure (impermeable floors, smooth walls, adequate lighting and ventilation), a documented pest management program, sanitation protocols, staff health certifications, temperature and humidity monitoring systems, and standard operating procedures for all handling activities. The registration process includes document submission and an on-site inspection by DIGESA officials.

 DIGESA and DIGEMID conduct periodic inspections of registered warehouses in Peru, typically at least annually, though the frequency can vary based on the type of products stored, compliance history, and specific regulatory programs. Unannounced inspections may also occur. Interworld Freight maintains continuous compliance readiness so our facilities meet all requirements at any time, regardless of when inspectors arrive. 

 Warehouses that store regulated products in Peru must hold the appropriate certification. DIGESA certification is required for facilities storing food products, beverages, cosmetics, and household chemicals. DIGEMID certification is required for warehouses storing pharmaceutical products, medical devices, and healthcare supplies. Warehouses storing only non-regulated general merchandise do not require these specific certifications. 

Interworld Freight prepares for inspections through continuous compliance management rather than last-minute preparation. Our internal audit program uses official inspection checklists, our documentation is maintained in real time through Korber Warehouse Edge WMS, staff training records are always current, and facility maintenance follows a preventive schedule. When inspections are announced, our compliance team coordinates logistics and accompanies inspectors throughout the process.

 Products requiring DIGESA-registered warehousing in Peru include food products, beverages, food contact materials, cosmetics, personal care products, and household chemical products. Products requiring DIGEMID-registered warehousing include prescription and over-the-counter medications, vaccines, biologics, medical devices, diagnostic equipment, and nutritional supplements classified as health products. Interworld Freight's dual-certified facility handles all these product categories.
