GMP certification is a system for ensuring that products are consistently produced and controlled according to quality standards. It is designed to minimize the risks involved in any pharmaceutical production that cannot be eliminated through testing the final product.
Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP) is a set of rules and guidelines for the manufacturing industry. GMP helps ensure that products are safe, effective and reliable by providing standards for the design, testing, production and other aspects of manufacturing. The main risks are: unexpected contamination of products, causing damage to health or even death; incorrect labels on containers, which could mean that patients receive the wrong medicine; insufficient or too much active ingredient, resulting in ineffective treatment or adverse effects. GMP covers all aspects of production; from the starting materials, premises and equipment to the training and personal hygiene of staff.
Certification in Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP) guarantees that food, pharmaceutical, and dietary supplement items are consistently made and inspected in accordance with quality standards suitable for the uses for which they are intended. Some common components needed for GMP certification are listed below, while exact requirements may differ based on the industry and legislation:
