GMP Frameworks We Implement

Different sectors operate under different GMP frameworks. We implement the right one for your industry.

💄

ISO 22716

Cosmetic GMP. The international standard for cosmetic product manufacturing. Required for export to EU markets and a Dubai Municipality reference framework for cosmetic manufacturing.

🍽️

Codex GMP

General Principles of Food Hygiene. Foundational GMP for food manufacturers. Forms the prerequisite program basis for HACCP, ISO 22000, FSSC 22000, BRCGS.

💊

Supplement GMP

GMP for dietary supplements and nutraceuticals — aligned with US FDA 21 CFR Part 111 and EU Food Supplements Directive standards.

🏥

WHO & PIC/S GMP

For pharmaceutical-adjacent products, herbal medicines, and high-risk nutraceuticals. WHO GMP and PIC/S inspection-aligned implementation.

The 5 Pillars of GMP

Every GMP framework — food, cosmetic, supplement, pharmaceutical — organizes around the same five operational pillars. Get these right and certification follows.

PILLAR 01

Personnel

Qualified, trained, and health-monitored workforce. Defined roles and responsibilities. Hygiene protocols. Training records that hold up under audit.

PILLAR 02

Premises & Facilities

Layout designed to prevent cross-contamination. Adequate utilities, lighting, ventilation, drainage. Separation of clean and dirty zones.

PILLAR 03

Equipment

Designed for intended use, easy to clean and maintain, calibrated, validated. Equipment qualification records. Preventive maintenance discipline.

PILLAR 04

Production Control

Written procedures for every process. In-process controls. Batch records. Validation of critical processes. Reproducibility through documented method.

PILLAR 05

Documentation

Specifications, manufacturing instructions, batch records, deviation logs, change controls, complaints handling. If it is not documented, GMP says it did not happen.

How We Implement GMP

A 5-step methodology calibrated to your specific GMP framework (ISO 22716, Codex, supplement, WHO).

Gap Analysis

Site visit and documented gap report against your target GMP framework. Identify exactly what is missing.

Facility & Equipment Review

Layout review, zoning analysis, equipment qualification gaps, utilities assessment. Improvements specified.

SOPs & Documentation

Build the GMP manual, SOPs, batch records, specifications, validation protocols, training materials, deviation/CAPA procedures.

Training & Implementation

Train operators, supervisors, QC team. Roll out the system across production. Run validation studies on critical processes.

Audit & Certification

Internal audit, management review, pre-certification audit. We sit beside you for the certification or regulatory inspection.

Industries We Serve

Anyone manufacturing something consumers ingest or apply needs a documented GMP system.

Why TheCorpBridge for GMP

GMP is unforgiving in audits. Auditors look for documented evidence — not good intentions.

🎯

Multi-Framework Expertise

ISO 22716, Codex food GMP, supplement GMP, WHO GMP — all under one team. We pick the right framework for your sector.

🛡️

Audit-Ready Documentation

Batch records, validation protocols, deviation logs — built the way regulators and certification bodies expect. HABC-accredited audit standards.

🏭

Facility Layout Insight

Cross-contamination prevention by design — not retrofit. We review your facility layout and recommend zoning improvements where required.

🔗

Integrated Standards Path

Your GMP system becomes the prerequisite program foundation for HACCP, ISO 22000, FSSC 22000, or BRCGS if you upgrade later. No duplicate work.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is GMP and why does my manufacturing operation need it?
GMP (Good Manufacturing Practice) is a system of practices, procedures, and documentation that ensures products are consistently produced to quality and safety standards. It is required by regulators (Dubai Municipality, MOIAT, SFDA), demanded by major buyers, and forms the foundation for any higher-level certification (HACCP, ISO 22000, BRCGS, FSSC 22000).
What is ISO 22716?
ISO 22716 is the international Good Manufacturing Practice standard for cosmetic products. It defines requirements for personnel, premises, equipment, raw materials, production, finished products, quality control, waste, complaints, recalls, and documentation. It is the GMP framework Dubai Municipality references for cosmetic manufacturers.
Is ISO 22716 required to sell cosmetics in the UAE?
For cosmetic manufacturers, having ISO 22716-aligned GMP is increasingly expected by Dubai Municipality and by buyers. While registration itself does not always require ISO 22716 certification, it strengthens your registration dossier and may be required by retailers and export markets (especially EU).
How long does GMP implementation take?
For a small manufacturer with reasonable starting hygiene: 3-6 months from kickoff to certification audit. Greenfield operations or facilities needing significant infrastructure improvements: 6-12 months. We give a realistic estimate after the free gap analysis.
Can GMP integrate with HACCP or ISO 22000?
Yes — GMP forms the prerequisite program foundation for HACCP, ISO 22000, FSSC 22000, and BRCGS. Building GMP correctly first makes higher-level certifications much faster. We design GMP systems to flow into these upgrades when you grow.
Do we need different GMP for food vs cosmetics vs supplements?
The core 5 pillars are the same, but the specific framework differs. Food uses Codex GMP. Cosmetics use ISO 22716. Supplements use supplement-specific GMP. If your operation produces multiple categories, we design an integrated system that meets all relevant frameworks.
What does the GMP audit involve?
A GMP audit reviews your facility (premises, equipment, zoning), documentation (SOPs, batch records, training, validation), personnel competence, in-process controls, and finished product testing. Auditors trace specific batches end-to-end to verify the system works as documented.
How much does GMP consulting cost?
Cost depends on framework, company size, complexity, facility state, and number of product lines. We quote per project after the free gap analysis. Get a free quote.
