Abstract

The Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP) is the part of quality assurance that ensures that products are consistently manufactured to the quality standards appropriate for their intended veterinary use and in accordance with their registration particulars and specifications. GMP is concerned with both production and quality control. It is a means of giving consumers confidence that the products meet the required quality standards and are safe and reliable for the purposes for which they are intended. The basic requirements of GMP are that: a) all manufacturing processes are clearly defined, are systematically reviewed in the light of experience, and shown to be capable of consistently producing veterinary chemical products that comply with their specifications and the required quality standards; b) critical steps of manufacturing processes and significant changes to the processes are validated; c) all necessary facilities for GMP are provided, including: (i) appropriately qualified, trained or experienced personnel (ii) adequate premises and space.
