Good Manufacturing Practices
(GMP) require a quality approach to manufacturing,
enabling companies to minimize or eliminate instances of contamination, mixups
and errors. This in turn, protects the consumer from purchasing a product which
is not effective or even dangerous. Failure of firms to comply with GMP
regulations can result in very serious consequences including recall, seizure,
fines, and jail time.

covering?
Good Manufacturing Practices
(GMP) regulations address issues including record keeping, personnel
qualifications, sanitation, cleanliness, equipment verification, process validation,
and complaint handling.
GMP is an important part of the manufacturing process for medicine, cosmetics, food and in addition to the packaging used to contain food items. BIC’s GMP audit standards applied throughout every step of manufacturing processes keep control over product inventory at the manufacturing plant and ensure the products' safety for consumers.
