Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP) is a globally recognised set of quality assurance standards that ensures the consistent production of safe, high-quality products. Covering everything from materials and equipment to personnel and facility conditions, GMP plays a crucial role in maintaining industry standards.

Why GMP Matters

Minimises risks that cannot be eliminated through testing
Ensures products meet strict quality standards for consumer safety and satisfaction
Complies with marketing authorisation requirements

Key GMP Requirements

✔️ Maintaining controlled manufacturing conditions (temperature, humidity, hygiene)
✔️ Ensuring proper sanitation and hygiene protocols
✔️ Employing trained and qualified personnel
✔️ Keeping accurate and complete production records
✔️ Regularly calibrating and maintaining equipment

GMP Compliance & Enforcement

The European Medicines Agency (EMA) coordinates inspections to verify GMP compliance, while the MHRA (Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency) and other authorities can take action against violations, including issuing warnings, seizing products, and pursuing legal action.
