Good manufacturing practice (GMP) is the body of requirements governing how medicinal products and their active ingredients are manufactured, documented, controlled and released. Its central principle is that quality is built into a product by a controlled process rather than tested into it afterwards.[1]
GMP is jurisdictional. A claim of GMP compliance is meaningful only in relation to a regulator, a scope and a period, and "GMP-certified" without those particulars is not a checkable statement — regulators inspect and issue findings rather than issuing perpetual certificates.[1]
