Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP)<\/a> are the actions required to conform to the guidelines set by agencies that control the authorization, licensing, and sale of cosmetics, consumables, pharmaceutical products, dietary supplements, and medical devices.<\/p>\n The establishment of GMP<\/a> ensures products manufactured are consistently developed at high-quality standards for their intended use. With a manufacturer abiding by these guidelines, GMP\u2019s<\/a> purpose is to help prevent harm to the consumer due to low-quality and high-risk products.<\/p>\n The guidelines of Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP)<\/a> mean that a business will have procedures to ensure that products are prepared in a sterile environment and do not become contaminated in production.<\/p>\n Many companies are automatically presumed compliant with the GMP regulation if they follow the guidelines set out by the International Standard Organization (ISO)<\/a>, ISO22716<\/a>. This is because ISO 22716<\/a> includes the policies needed to comply with GMP<\/a> and further expands your compliancy according to the ISO standard.<\/p>\n As part of ISO 22716<\/a>, every European market product must be manufactured and produced according to the Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP)<\/a> under the European Union\u2019s Regulation (EC) No 1223\/2000. By implementing ISO 22716<\/a>, compliance with GMP<\/a> can be demonstrated.<\/p>\n Although following ISO 22716<\/a> is not a legal requirement, companies can use whatever GMP<\/a> they wish. However, this would require them to demonstrate their system, which achieves the same objective as the ISO 22716<\/a> guidelines.<\/p>\nHow does ISO 22716 conform to Good Manufacturing Practices?<\/h2>\n
