GMP (Good Manufacturing Practices)

Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP) are a set of internationally accepted guidelines that ensure products are consistently produced and controlled according to defined quality and safety standards. GMP focuses on minimizing risks involved in production that cannot be eliminated through final product testing alone.
