Good manufacturing practice is mostly about being able to show what you did, in writing, at the time. Twelve questions cover the principle areas in our own words. This is orientation only. GMP compliance is assessed by regulators and auditors against the standards that apply where you manufacture and where you sell — no score from a web page counts for anything, and none of the official texts are reproduced here.
Where the actual requirements live
The World Health Organization’s GMP guidance — link did not resolve on 15 September 2026 is the widely referenced international baseline and is published openly.
Requirements differ by product type — medicines, active ingredients, devices, cosmetics and food are treated separately — and by the market you sell into. Manufacturing for export usually means meeting the destination regulator’s expectations as well as your own.
What this is not
GMP certification is granted by regulators and auditors. This page grants nothing, verifies nothing and is not a pre-audit. A high score means your documentation habits are worth showing an auditor, not that you would pass.
No standard or guideline text is reproduced. The statements are the estate’s own plain-language rendering of areas an inspection typically examines. The official documents govern and are the ones to read.
Nothing here is product-specific. Sterile manufacture, biologicals, devices and food each carry requirements this generic list does not touch.
The hardest part is not on this list — sustaining the practice on an ordinary Tuesday when the line is behind. Documentation written for an audit rather than for the work is the failure mode inspectors are best at spotting.
