What does GMP mean?

Isn’t this a term specific to the pharmaceutical industry?

“GMP” is the abbreviation for Good Manufacturing Practice in English; in Chinese it refers to “good manufacturing practices” or “high standards for manufacturing.” It represents a management system that places particular emphasis on ensuring product quality as well as hygiene and safety throughout the production process. It is a set of mandatory standards applicable to industries such as pharmaceuticals and food, requiring companies to meet health and quality requirements in terms of raw materials, personnel, facilities and equipment, production processes, packaging and transportation, as well as quality control, in accordance with relevant regulations. These standards provide a set of actionable guidelines to help companies improve their hygiene conditions, identify problems that arise during the production process promptly, and take steps to address them. In short, GMP requires food manufacturing companies to have proper production equipment, sound production processes, comprehensive quality management systems, and strict testing procedures, in order to ensure that the quality of the final products (including food safety and hygiene) meets regulatory requirements. 　　The requirements stipulated by GMP are the most basic conditions that food processing enterprises must meet. Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP) is a set of regulations that guide the production and quality management of pharmaceuticals. The World Health Organization officially published the GMP standards in November 1975. The concept of drugs on an international level includes veterinary drugs; only a few countries such as China and Australia separate the GMP standards for human drugs from those for veterinary drugs.

I’ve learned about it now – Good Manufacturing Practice

A more accurate explanation of GMP seems to be “Good Manufacturing Practice for pharmaceuticals.” In 1982, China’s pharmaceutical industry companies formulated the “Good Manufacturing Practice for Pharmaceuticals” (draft version); after several revisions, it was updated again in 1998. It was then issued by the **Drug Administration in June 1999 and implemented across the entire industry. The purpose of this standard is to exercise strict control over various aspects during the manufacturing process, such as personnel, facilities, equipment, raw materials, processes, quality inspection, hygiene, packaging, storage, and sales. As for “GMP equipment,” it refers to the devices used to address issues such as contamination, mixing of drugs, and mismatches; it ensures appropriate environmental conditions and, in accordance with various standards related to manufacturing and quality management, carefully checks and records quality conditions. In other words, GMP equipment imposes strict requirements not only on the manufacturing processes and the selection of process parameters and conditions, but also on a range of procedures such as its usage, cleaning, and maintenance. ————It’s also just the perspective of a frog in a well; for reference only! !

I see, I’ve always heard of GMP certification; so that’s what it means
