A GMP is a system to ensure that products are consistently manufactured and controlled in accordance with quality standards. It is designed to reduce the risks involved in any drug production that cannot be eliminated by testing the final product. GMP is the acronym for Good Manufacturing Practice. GMP is an initiative of WHO.

The main goal of GMP is to ensure that the products are good enough for use after the final result. GMP controls the product at every stage of manufacturing. Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP) are part of quality assurance that ensures that drugs are systematically produced and controlled according to the appropriate quality standards for their intended use and as required by the Marketing Authority (MA) or product specification. GMP takes care of both production and quality control.

A Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP) certification program provides independent verification and certification that demonstrates that the basic manufacturing practices and prerequisites required for the implementation of an effective Risk Analysis and Control Program Critical Points (HACCP) are observed.
