Overview

What is GMP?

GMP is a set of quality assurance guidelines that ensure products are consistently produced and controlled according to strict quality standards. In the food sector, GMP covers everything from ingredient sourcing to packaging. In the TMHS (Traditional Medicine and Health Supplement) industry, adherence to GMP is crucial for safe and effective herbal remedies, supplements, and traditional medicines. In cosmetics, GMP ensures products are manufactured, packaged, and labelled in a manner that prevents contamination and ensures safety.

FAQ

Your GMP questions answered.

Who needs GMP?

Any organization involved in the manufacturing, packaging, labeling, testing, or distribution of pharmaceuticals, medical devices, food products, cosmetics, or other regulated products.

Why is GMP important for your organization?

GMP ensures compliance with regulatory requirements, maintains product quality and safety, and protects public health. It also enhances customer confidence, facilitates market access, and reduces the risk of non-compliance and product recalls.

Is GMP mandatory for TMHS and cosmetics manufacturers in Malaysia?

Yes. GMP serves as a mandatory license for cosmetic and TMHS manufacturers. Without GMP, it can be considered illegal manufacturing.

How long does the certification process take?

Most organizations achieve certification in 6 to 12 months, depending on premise assessment, equipment calibration, procedure establishment and documentation.

Unsure about choosing the right certification body?

We partner with both international and local bodies like SGS, BSI, LRQA and BV to ensure a smooth certification process.

Do you offer a maintenance package for subsequent years?

Yes. Our maintenance packages are tailored to your needs: Internal Audit Assistance, Non-Conformance Support, and Document and Process Improvement.
