Hundreds of millions of Americans rely on life-saving and sustaining medications and medical devices every day. Ensuring the drugs and devices that they depend on are not contaminated is critical for the health of the country, and the responsibility of the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA).

To address safety concerns in the medical, pharmaceutical, and food industries, the FDA established and enforces GMP or Good Manufacturing Practice regulations. These necessary steps and precautions guarantee that everything produced and shipped is safe, and meets purity and quality standards. GMP guidelines should be clearly stated in each manufacturer’s quality control plan, as the regulations serve to limit instances of cross-contamination, mixed raw materials, or unqualified staff working on crucial production points.

Although highly regulated, GMP framework is very open-ended, allowing manufacturers to set their own quality control procedures that work best with their business model and goods being produced. This freedom grants businesses a way to make sure they are doing exactly what is right for themselves and their customers while following established guidelines that serve as a baseline for quality and safety.

There is an additional component to GMP, with the regulations often referred to as cGMP. The difference is the “c” which symbolizes “current” – meaning manufacturers must strive to keep their equipment and production floor as modern as possible to comply with current standards. Crucial equipment and systems that were once state-of-the-art pieces of machinery can age out and may not meet current standards.
