CFDA updated Medical Device GMP certification

The Quality System: GMP full form in medical

This quality system, to support GMP in medical, includes requirements related to the methods used in, and around facilities and controls used for, designing, manufacturing, packaging, labeling, storing, installing and servicing of medical devices intended for human use. Therefore the quality can be guaranteed only when the production process from beginning until end is entirely carried out at a precise prescribed and controlled manner. This way of production is called Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP for good medical practice) and gives manufacturers of medical devices greater flexibility in achieving quality requirements.

From February 1, 2016 this update has gone into effect and as a consequence bring China-based sites closer into alignment with global standards. Because of the GMP full form in medical, it is very important that the manufacturing sites are in compliance with the regulations to ensure no disruption to the supply chain.

NMPA & GMP in medical

The National Medical Products Administration (NMPA) replaced the China Food and Drug Administration (CFDA) as the regulatory authority overseeing medical devices and pharmaceuticals in China in 2018. This restructuring was part of a broader effort to improve the regulation and supervision of the pharmaceutical and medical device industries in China. The NMPA was established to streamline and enhance regulatory oversight, the NMPA China guidelines ensure the safety and quality of medical products, and align with international standards and best practices.
