These inspections are conducted to verify the compliance with GMP (Part C, Division 2 of the Food and Drugs Regulations) which is a requirement for the issuance of an establishment licence. To ensure a uniform application of these requirements and help the industry to comply, the Inspectorate has developed the Good Manufacturing Practices Guidelines as well as a series of guides and other related documents.
