GMP
Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP) comprises rules and regulations for the quality assurance of production processes and environments in the manufacture of pharmaceuticals and other medicinal products and devices.
Detailed description
GMP plays an important role in protecting patient health by ensuring the quality and safety of pharmaceutical production. All companies that manufacture, test, store and place medicinal products on the market are obliged to comply with GMP regulations. GMP requirements cover all aspects of production, including raw materials, facilities, equipment, staff training and hygiene. The aim is to minimise the risk of error and contamination and to ensure the safety of the products manufactured. GMP regulations are internationally recognised and monitored by authorities such as the European Medicines Agency (EMA) and the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA).
