GMP Certification is on the Way
Apr
As a team, PPB Analytical Incorporated decided that we are pursuing the GMP accreditation from Health Canada. This important certification will benefit us as an analytical lab and the customers that require the certification for its products. With this certification, we can prove our commitment to producing high-quality, accurate, and reliable results. It’s important to understand what is required from a laboratory in order to receive accreditation. That’s why we have described what a GMP is and the requirements needed down below.
What is a gmp (Good Manufacturing Practices)?
The GMP abbreviation stands for Good Manufacturing Practices. This is a set of guidelines and regulations that govern the manufacturing, testing, packaging, labeling, and storage of pharmaceuticals, medical devices, and natural health products.
The purpose of GMP is to ensure that products are consistently produced and controlled according to quality standards that minimize the risks to patient safety and ensure product effectiveness. GMP guidelines cover all aspects of the manufacturing process, from facility design and equipment maintenance to personnel training and documentation control.
Obtaining the gmp certification
To obtain GMP certification from Health Canada, PPB Analytical Incorporated must meet certain requirements and undergo a rigorous inspection process. Some of the key requirements for the GMP certification include:
-
Quality Management System (QMS): PPB Analytical Incorporated must have a well-documented QMS that covers all aspects of the manufacturing process, including quality control, documentation, and validation.
-
Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs): PPB Analytical Incorporated must have written procedures for all aspects of the manufacturing process, including equipment cleaning, product testing, and quality control.
-
Personnel Qualification and Training: PPB Analytical Incorporated must have qualified and trained personnel who are responsible for the manufacturing process and quality control.
-
Facility and Equipment: PPB Analytical Incorporated must have a suitable facility and equipment that are designed, maintained, and operated to ensure the quality of the products.
-
Documentation and Record Keeping: PPB Analytical Incorporated must maintain accurate and complete documentation and record-keeping systems to ensure traceability and accountability.
Once PPB Analytical Incorporated has met all the GMP requirements, the quality assurance manager will submit an certification application to Health Canada. Health Canada will then conduct an inspection to ensure that the company is in compliance with the GMP requirements. If the inspection is successful, Health Canada will issue the GMP certification.
