Performance put to the test
GMP – Good Manufacturing Practice. GMP is a system of rules and regulations to ensure that products are produced and controlled according to prescribed quality standards. Unless you meet the GMP requirements of your industry, your products are essentially banned from the market. Through GMP qualification, you demonstrate that the quality of your products is consistent, reproducible and controlled.
For manufacturers of pharmaceuticals, GMP qualification of their production facilities is one of the core quality management goals. GMP is not a new invention and qualification has long been a key requirement for companies seeking production licenses. As GMP qualification is essentially a quality assurance mechanism, it is becoming ever more popular in the food and cosmetics industries.
We are highly experienced in this area and would be delighted to assist you in devising your own qualification strategy. We help you compile the necessary documentation and support you in assessing your plants, machines, premises and IT systems.
Four steps to successful qualification
With a GMP qualification, you prove that your technical equipment is suitable for the intended purpose and works perfectly, producing items that fully meet the relevant quality requirements.
The actual qualification process consists of four steps that need to be fully documented for approval by the relevant authorities.
- Design Qualification, DQ
- Installation Qualification, IQ
- Operational Qualification, OQ
- Performance Qualification, PQ
For GMP qualification, all four steps need to be completed in sequence.
