Explanation:
so heißt das wenigstens bei der Pharmafirma, für die ich öfter übersetze; soweit ich weiß, wird dafür keine Abkürzung verwendet;
evtl. hängt die Bezeichnung auch davon ab, in welchem Kontext (Herstellungserlaubnis, Zertifikat eines pharmazeutischen Produkts etc.) der Begriff verwendet wird
