What Is GMP?
Good Manufacturing Practices
GMP is Good Manufacturing Practices GMP guidelines help to strengthen the manufacturing process to ensure products are consistently produced and controlled by the quality and safety standards for their intended use and comply the regulatory requirements by health authorities.

Currently it is noticed that GMP compliance requirements are rising in other than food and such as pharmaceutical industry and Textile manufacturing units.
GMP covers all aspects of the production process from initial stage material, facility and equipment to the training of personal hygiene of staff. Comprehensively written procedures are essential for each process that could affect the quality of the product. Detailed and effective documented system must be devised to provide documented evidence that correct procedures are consistently followed at each step in the manufacturing process – every time a product made.
It is a voluntary standard therefore it automatically fulfils the expectations of the customers and stakeholders regarding product quality and basic food safety practices.
Certification bodies conducts GMP audits on their own guidelines or checklist and sometimes on auditee’s requirement they refers the guidelines of regulator and country’s standard development authority such as PSQCA, Australian GMP guidelines, Canadian GMP guidelines, European GMP guidelines & US FDA GMP guidelines.
