GMP Certification Services

For (potential) manufacturers of medicinal cannabis

What Is GMP Certification?

The Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP) are a set of laws/regulations adopted by governments in most countries. These laws are designed to ensure pharmaceutical products are produced in a safe manner. Before you can be certified you will receive an inspection by your national healthcare inspectorate against the GMP laws/regulations.

For Whom?

When you produce medicinal cannabis in -or deliver to- any of the following countries the Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP) laws/regulations apply to you: the United States of America, Canada, Mexico, Argentina, South Africa, Japan, Iran, Australia, New Zealand, Turkey, China, Russia and all nations of the European Union. Other nations may also require you to adhere to GMP regulatory requirements.
