About GMP Certification
Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP) are quality standards that ensure products are consistently produced and controlled. In India, pharmaceutical GMP is governed by Schedule M of the Drugs and Cosmetics Rules, 1945, and WHO-GMP certification is issued after regulator inspection; food units follow FSSAI's GMP/GHP requirements and AYUSH units follow Schedule T.
NewStarts helps you assess the gaps in premises, equipment, documentation, quality control and personnel, then prepares your facility for inspection and certification.
What is GMP Certification?
GMP certification is confirmation, by a competent authority or accredited body, that a manufacturing facility follows the required GMP standards in design, process, hygiene, documentation and quality control.
