At the end of their annual visit, on December 4, inspectors from the department of medicines, medical equipment and food products concluded that PPM Laboratories were in compliance with the GMP standard.
During a morning, the seven inspectors reviewed the documentation and visited the production, the Labiocert analysis laboratory and the warehouses before delivering their satisfaction.
The World Health Organization defines Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP) as “one of the elements of quality assurance, guaranteeing that products are manufactured and controlled in a uniform manner and according to quality standards appropriate to their use and specified in the marketing authorization”.
GMPs cover all aspects of production and control processes: a determined manufacturing process and validated critical steps; suitable premises, storage and transport; trained and qualified production and quality control personnel; sufficient and qualified facilities; approved written instructions and procedures; complete traceability of a product thanks to batch records; systems for recording and reviewing complaints; an internal audit system allowing verification of the implementation and monitoring of GMPs.
