WHY IS GOOD MAUFACTURING PRACTICES (GMP) TRAINING IMPORTANT?

Good manufacturing practice" or "GMP" is part of a quality system covering the manufacture and testing of active pharmaceutical ingredients, diagnostics, foods, pharmaceutical products, and medical devices. GMPs are guidelines that outline the aspects of production and testing that can impact the quality of a product. Many countries have legislated that pharmaceutical and medical device companies must follow GMP procedures,and have created their own GMP guidelines that correspond with their legislation




 


GMPs are intended to assure that:

  Raw materials used in the manufacture of drugs are of known, and of possibly standardized, quality and are free from contamination;
The manufacturing process has been proven to produce a pharmaceutical product meeting its quality attributes;
Adequate quality control testing measures have been employed to assure that the product meets its quality specifications at time of release to market, and at the end of its shelf life.
Poor quality products can damage health.
GMP helps boost export opportunities.
