GMP

GMP stands for Good Manufacturing Practice. It is used for managing the control and management of manufacturing, testing, and overall quality of products majorly pharmaceutical products.

GMP defines certain guidelines that talk about the quality assurance approach. GMP certification ensures that products are produced following the quality standard norms.

GMP norms and procedures are followed by all pharmaceutical and medical device firms, however some have developed their own guidelines in accordance with local regulations. Major benefits of GMP are as follows:

  • Empower certification holders
  • Improve overall trustworthiness and public perception;
  • Reduce product quality and safety risks;
  • Reduces operating expenses by reducing rework and fines for non-compliance.
  • Increases export opportunities,
  • Saves money.

GLP

Good Laboratory Practice (GLP) principles are a managerial quality control system that define the responsibilities of a facility management, directors, personnels and quality assurance personnel that are operating within a GLP system, and minimum standards concerning the suitability of facilities.

In the experimental (non-clinical) research arena, good laboratory practice or GLP is a quality system of management controls for research laboratories and organizations to ensure the uniformity, consistency, reliability, reproducibility, quality, and integrity of products in development for human or animal health (including pharmaceuticals).

GLP Certification leads to many other benefits for both the laboratory and its customers like a

  • Increased confidence in the reliability and trustworthiness
  • Increased productivity
  • Reduced need for re-work
  • Reduced time spent on non-revenue investigations

 An independent certification agency evaluates various parameters in order to ensure requisite quality management certification in respect of GLP is issued in a timely manner.
