Good Manufacturing Practice: What is GMP Certification?

In the sector of logistics and the transport of sensitive goods, the quality and integrity of the supply chain are of fundamental importance.

Our company, which specialises in the storage and transport of medicines on behalf of third parties, is proud to announce the possession of GMP Certification, attesting to our Good Manufacturing Practices or Good Manufacturing Standards.

This certification certifies that every step of the process behind the storage of pharmaceutical substances complies with the highest quality and safety standards.

The GMP regulations includes a set of guidelines that regulate the production, control and distribution of pharmaceutical products. These regulations apply to various aspects so as to ensure that the manufactured products are safe and comply with high quality standards.

In essence, GMP standards set out the requirements with which all manufacturers and distributors must comply in order to uphold the predefined safety and quality guidelines.

Good Manufacturing Practices are critical for two main reasons:

1. They guarantee compliance with high standards of safety, quality and hygiene within the company itself.
2. They certify for end customers the highest quality and reliability of the products.

Let us look in detail at the aspects on which these regulations operate.

The person in charge of a GMP site is the “Qualified Person” (QP), appointed in Italy by AIFA (the Italian Medicines Agency). The Qualified Person (QP) is the technical manager tasked with ensuring that the GMP standards are applied and respected on all products manufactured, or in our case, stored.

This qualified figure acts as a point of reference for all matters concerning GMP standards, also offering advice and support in the management of each phase.

Specifically, the QP verifies that each batch of product complies with the GMP standards before it is placed on the market and ensures that all documentation relating to the production and control of the products is accurate and complete, in order to facilitate inspections and compliance checks.

In addition to GMP certification, which guarantees our customers excellent practices in the management and distribution of sensitive goods, at Logistic Company we boast a team of qualified personnel with many years of experience in the sector.

Our QP and team of qualified personnel are able to ensure full compliance with GMP regulations through technical support during each phase of the storage process for our customers’ materials.
