A set of regulatory guidelines ensuring products are consistently produced and controlled according to quality standards, primarily used in pharmaceutical, food, and cosmetics manufacturing.
Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP) is a system of regulations and guidelines that ensures products are consistently produced and controlled according to established quality standards. GMP covers all aspects of production — from raw materials and facility cleanliness to staff training, documentation, and quality testing.
GMP compliance is legally required for pharmaceutical, food, cosmetic, and medical device manufacturing in most markets. Regulatory bodies such as the FDA, EMA, and WHO set and enforce GMP standards. For companies sourcing regulated products through FindMyFactory, confirming a manufacturer's GMP certification and audit history is a non-negotiable step.
