The BSCG Certified GMP program offers a cost effective GMP certification that includes benefits for manufacturers and a GMP compliance check and marketing benefits to brands or ingredient providers. We conduct compliance audits for 21 C.F.R. 111 – Current Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP) for dietary supplements. We can also audit for other GMP guidelines including 210, 211 for drug products or cosmetic guidelines.

finished product or ingredient certification we audit the facilities involved in the production of the product or ingredient to verify GMP compliance in order for the product or ingredient provider to carry the BSCG Certified GMP seal. In the case of manufacturing facilities, the facility is audited for GMP compliance and, if successful, is able to use the BSCG Certified GMP seal to showcase GMP compliance.

Program participation requires each manufacturing or holding facility to be evaluated for  GMP compliance. The evaluation includes a third-party onsite audit conducted every two years, providing for a cost effective solution. Upon completion of the GMP audit the participating company receives a comprehensive review from BSCG of all key audit criteria with recommendations for corrective actions to be in compliance with GMP.  Once the participating company notifies BSCG that solutions are in place for any corrective actions noted, a follow-up evaluation will be scheduled by phone or video conference to review any deficiencies and evaluate the corrective actions taken. A Certified GMP certificate is provided once all issues have been addressed.

Participating companies will be able to use the BSCG Certified GMP and will have their certificate, contact information and other details included in our database and on a custom Client page.
