GMP explained
In short
Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP) is the set of regulations ensuring that products are consistently produced and controlled to quality standards appropriate to their use. It covers premises, equipment, processes, documentation and personnel.
GMP requires that manufacturing is defined, controlled and documented so that outcomes are reproducible. The guiding principle is that quality cannot be tested into a product — it must be built in.
Core elements include validated processes, traceable records, qualified equipment, trained staff and a system for investigating and correcting deviations.
