What is gmp ghp?

GMP (Good Manufacturing Practice) and GHP (Good Health Practice) have obvious differences in definitions and requirements.

Definition:
GMP (Good Manufacturing Practice) GMP is the abbreviation of "Good Operating Practice", which is an autonomous management system that pays special attention to the implementation of product quality and health safety in the production process. It is applicable to industries such as pharmaceuticals and food, requiring enterprises to meet the hygiene quality requirements in terms of raw materials, personnel, facilities and equipment, production processes, packaging and transportation, quality control, etc., to form a set of operational operating specifications to help enterprises improve the sanitary environment and ensure that the quality of the final product meets regulatory requirements.



GHP (Good Health Practice) GHP is "Good Hygiene Operation Practice", which is mainly used to ensure the basis for food safety production. It covers water safety, the condition and cleanliness of food contact surfaces, prevention of cross contamination, hand washing and disinfection and maintenance of toilet equipment, prevention of contaminants, use of toxic chemicals, labeling and storage, health of personnel, and pest control.

Application areas and specific requirements
GMP (Good Manufacturing Practice) GMP requires enterprises to have good production equipment, reasonable production processes, perfect quality management and strict testing systems to ensure that the quality of the final product (including food safety and hygiene) meets regulatory requirements.

GHP (Good Health Practice) focuses more on the specific implementation of sanitary operations, including water safety, cleanliness of food contact surfaces, prevention of cross contamination and other specific operational requirements.

Historical background
Both GMP and GHP are specifications formulated to ensure product quality and sanitary safety. GMP originated in the 1960s and was issued by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and is mainly used in the production process of food and drugs. GHP is more related to food safety production and emphasizes sanitary operations from production to consumption.
