USP Quality Systems GMP Audited Verification Program
Manual for Participants
1. Overview
The USP Quality Systems GMP Audited Verification Program (USP QS GMP Audited Program, or Program) is one of several public health programs of the USP. Participation is voluntary and open to companies manufacturing dietary supplement products.
The USP QS GMP Audited Program covers the quality systems used in a facility to manufacture dietary supplements legally marketed under the Dietary Supplement Health and Education Act (DSHEA), including vitamins, minerals, amino acids, botanicals, and other non-botanical dietary supplement products. The Program complements the United States Food Drug Administration's (U.S. FDA's) regulation of dietary supplements under DSHEA and the Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP) regulations contained in 21 Code of Federal Regulations Part 111 (21 CFR Part 111).
The USP QS GMP Audited Program includes: Evaluation of manufacturers' quality systems by an audit to establish conformity with USP and FDA GMPs.
Granting use of the USP Quality Systems GMP Audited Mark and issuance of a Certificate of Standards Compliance upon obtaining conformity with the Program requirements.
Annual Quality Systems GMP audits of facilities using the USP Quality Systems GMP Audited Mark (Mark) to ascertain continuing conformity with Program requirements.
The use of the distinctive USP Quality Systems GMP Audited Mark is granted for dietary supplement manufacturing facilities that successfully meet USP QS GMP Audited Program requirements. The Mark indicates verification that the manufacturing facility quality system has met USP's requirements under the Program. It provides assurance that the manufacturer's quality system helps to ensure that dietary supplements will be manufactured in accordance with applicable GMPs.
