Good Manufacturing
Practice (GMP)
Certification Scheme

Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP) certification scheme can assist manufacturers of food products and food
related products to provide assurance to their customers that their products are manufactured in a hygienic
manner and in accordance to best practices in manufacturing.
Since GMP is one of the pre-requisite programmes (PRP) required to be established before Hazard Analysis
and Critical Control Points (HACCP) can be implemented, having GMP certification would definitely pave the
way to an easier HACCP implementation and certification.
Generally, GMP consists of aspects such as design and facilities in the establishment, control of operations
by equipment, temperature, time, pH or water activity control, maintenance and sanitation, personal hygiene,
personnel training, transportation, conveyors, product information and consumer awareness. In short, it
comprises the basic requirements of a manufacturing facility covering establishment, infrastructure, equipment
design, construction, maintenance, process controls and personnel hygiene and awareness.
MS 1514 is the standard for prescribing the requirements of pre-requisite programmes which is required to be
established before the implementation of HACCP. The standard is applicable to all food manufacturers, primary
and secondary processors, food catering and service operators, food retailers and food related industries.

The Benefits of Certification

• Builds consumers’ confidence that food is produced in accordance to the best manufacturing practices.
• Easier to obtain HACCP certification.
• Enhances image of the company in the production of safe food and increase competitive edge in the
international market.
• Facilitate the process of meeting the requirements of Malaysian Food Act 1983 and Malaysian Food
Regulations 1985.
