GMP (Good Manufacturing Practice)
Good manufacturing practice (GMP) 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. 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. Detailed, written procedures are essential for each process that could affect the quality of the finished product. There must be systems to provide documented proof that correct procedures are consistently followed at each step in the manufacturing process – every time a product is made. WHO has established detailed guidelines for good manufacturing practices. Many countries have formulated their requirements for GMP based on WHO GMP. Others have harmonized their requirements, for example in the Association of South-East Asian Nations (ASEAN), in the European Union and through the Pharmaceutical Inspection Convention.

Benefits For the Manufacturer
One of the primary benefits is significantly improved quality systems and quality compliance at the manufacturer. We have seen these improvements in the months leading up to GMP certification and continuing during the years immediately following GMP certification.
Benefits For the Customer
Customers will typically modify their oversight of manufacturers that have been GMP certified. Customers are aware that to be certified, the manufacturer must have systems in place and provide evidence that non-conformance and changes that require customer notification are handled appropriately. This assurance is typically not obtained through a one-day supplier audit that pharma companies carry out; rather, it is obtained as a result of thorough, multiple-day audits of the manufacturer as part of a certification audit program.
Our experts will be assisting you with guidance concerning GMP Certification and its compliance for the smooth functioning of your manufacturing business in India. We will assist you in planning seamlessly at the least cost, confirming the successful conclusion of the process.
