cGMP

cGMP = why c is in small leters

It stands for "certified". WhatamIdoing (talk) 02:07, 13 June 2012 (UTC)Reply
The small c stands for "current". The philosophy behind the GMPs are that they are a "living" set of requirements that change as needs arise.--Wdpfeffer (talk) 22:54, 11 December 2012 (UTC)Reply

hi i was redirected here form good manufacuring practices, note the "s", GMP is mostly used by the drug industry, GMPs is used mostly by the food industry. i do not know how to change redirects. i dont wnat to add the food information to the drugs page cause i dont care too much about drug production and i would not think the pharmacist care about food production.

GMP as used in food is a source of much confusion to us pharma folks. An essay on the difference between the two indistries' implementations of GMP would be needed before merging them. Does anyone know enough to even stub this?

Purpose: GMP and CYA

edit

Cut from intro:

The purpose of GMP is to ensure quality product.

Is that really the purpose? How much of the purpose is to "cover your ass"? Better to say that a GMP addresses quality issues or regulates quality control programs.

Lots of people and companies go for certification of their processes, but that's no guarantee of quality. For example, big city schoolteachers in America usually have master's degrees, yet test scores show that pupils are falling further behind in academic achievement with each passing decade.

The teachers have formal "qualifications", but with the seniority system ensuring that longevity is the only basis for promotion and raises, the "quality" of teaching suffers. There is no incentive to teach more effectively: only to hang on to your job for the contractually guaranteed annual raise.

This is one example of certification being unrelated to quality, and I don't even need to provide references or sources to prove it; it's common knowledge. Uncle Ed 14:51, 26 October 2005 (UTC)Reply

Ed : GMP doesnt just pay lip service to quality control purely for the sake of covering your ass. It is there to ensure that all drugs are of consistent, high quality. Entire batches of drugs (worth thousands, or even hundreds of thousands of dollars) are thrown out often even if one signature is missing. If the drugs are still in development throwing out a batch can set projects back by months. These are not the actions of an industry simply paying lip service to these regulations. I work in the industry, in a lab where every action is carefully thought out and planned to correspond to GMP. I suggest your rant is ill-placed here.

GMP and cGMP are NOT the same thing. This needs to be changed. 69.230.192.237 (talk) 21:59, 25 March 2009 (UTC) _____________________________________________________________Reply

The current Good Manufacturing Practice article is in Italian. This may not be the best choice for the English version of Wikipedia. Thanks. 14 Nov 2005

ISO versus GMP

edit

What is the difference between the European standard ISO and GMP? --109.84.3.33 (talk) 13:39, 21 July 2010 (UTC)Reply

Probably better to ask a reference desk, though it is something we could add to the article. GMP, in the US, is an explicitly regulatory standard imposed by an external body, ISO is a voluntary standard. ISO tends to focus on things like management controls which are expected in GMPs, but not directly addressed. Depending on the product, the GMPs and ISO may be very similar or almost identical. I know that FDA's Quality System Regulation (QSR), which is part of the GMPs for medical devices, was explicitly designed to mirror ISO's requirements for simplicity.

Should this article be "Good Manufacturing Practice" instead of "Good manufacturing practice?" It's really a proper noun and not a description. SDY (talk) 16:06, 30 March 2011 (UTC)Reply

Canada vs. USA vs. Europe vs. India

edit

One supplement brand says: All X Brand products are manufactured in accordance with the Government of Canada's Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP), among the highest standards in the world. How does Canada really compare to USA, European Union or other countries? I am mainly interested in

  • Supplements, available from for example iHerb.
  • Medicines.
  • Food, like cacao, freeze-dried fruit powders... If there is GMP for them, I do not know.
