The international standard GMP is considered one of the main in the world, defining the requirements for the production of food, medicines, dietary supplements.

The full name of this set of requirements is Good Manufacturing Practice for Medicinal Products, which in translation means "Rules for the production of medical products".

The international standard GMP has the following objectives: to ensure a high level of product quality. Ensure that the formula of the produced product corresponds to the claimed; the product does not contain foreign impurities; there is a corresponding marking; the product is properly packaged; It will not lose its properties over the expiration date.

The beginning of the standard was laid in the USA in 1963, when the first rules of safe and high-quality manufacturing of medicines were born. The standard form of the official document, however, they took only in 1968. A year later, the World Health Organization (WHO) recommended that all countries apply the international standard GMP. Subsequently, these rules were repeatedly supplemented and adjusted until the current species was adopted.

Interest in the international standard began to appear only since 1991, when the processes of import and export of products were being intensified. However, at first, it was not possible to achieve harmony of such different rules. Only in recent years there have been some real progress.

The main elements of the GMP standard The GMP (Good Manufacturing Practice) standard provides many indicators that manufacturers must meet. For producers of certain types of products, the requirements for each stage of manufacturing are detailed: from the concentration of bacteria contained in one cubic meter of air to the marking of products. An example is the requirement for an enterprise manufacturing medicines in tablets. In such cases, GMP (international standard) requires from the organization "especially clean shops", in which the increased sterility of the process is achieved by the entry gateways for the personnel, a special mode of air filtration and so on. What conditions are needed to move to the standard? To transfer enterprises to the international standard GMP, both external and internal conditions are necessary. At the state level, it is required: to create a legal, regulatory and methodological framework through which to monitor compliance with these rules. Here you need a staff of qualified inspectors who will have detailed methodological materials on checking companies before issuing certificates, as well as laws on prosecution of offenders.This is especially true in the category of "quality", as the current specialists in control and issuing permits do not have sufficient qualifications. In addition, in the implementation network there is no emphasis on the quality of the finished product. Trade continues to focus more on the price of the product, often at the expense of its quality.

ISO 22000 establishes requirements for the management system of organizations involved in the food production and consumption chain to demonstrate their ability to control food safety risks and ensure that the end products, according to their purpose, are safe for consumers.

The food safety management system built on the basis of the requirements of this standard will allow your organization:

1. Identify and evaluate all hazards that may potentially occur in the food production chain, including hazards associated with the type of process and equipment used;
2. efficiently exchange information with suppliers, consumers and other stakeholders (from agricultural producers to food producers, food laboratories, supervisors, etc.) in the food chain;
3. comply with applicable legal and regulatory requirements for food safety and agreed consumer requirements.

The international standard ISO 22000 is designed for harmonious sharing with ISO 9001. In addition, the standard integrates the principles of the HACCP system and the application stages developed by the Codex Alimentarius Commission (CAC / RCP 1-1969). Demonstration of the organization's ability to meet the requirements of the ISO 22000 standard can be confirmed by passing the certification procedure and obtaining a certificate of compliance from independent competent and authorized international and national authorities.

Scope of the ISO 22000 standard The ISO 22000 standard is applicable to all organizations involved in any aspect of the food chain, regardless of their type, size and products. This includes, for example, feed producers, farmers, ingredient producers and food producers, food processing companies, catering companies, organizations involved in the cleaning, transportation, storage and distribution of food products.

Other organizations indirectly associated with the food chain (eg, suppliers of equipment, cleaning products, packaging materials and other materials in contact with food) can also effectively apply this standard.

Benefits of ISO 22000 food safety management system certification To date, food products at any stage of the chain of production and supply can not only move within the country, but also cross national borders. The application of the ISO 22000 standard, above all, will increase the credibility of your products, as it ensures the application of the same rules regarding the quality and safety of food products for organizations around the world.

The introduction of a food safety management system based on the requirements of ISO 22000 optimizes the management processes of your organization, which in turn allows you to not divide attention and resources into all possible hazards, and pay special attention only to individual stages (identified control critical points ( CCP)), which significantly affects the safety of products for consumers.

In addition, your organization, ensuring a stable quality of products, can receive significant financial savings by reducing the share of marriage and the number of complaints.

Thanks to the certification of the food safety management system according to the requirements of the ISO 22000 standard, your organization has the following advantages:

• the growth of consumer and regulatory authorities' confidence, as well as the formation of the reputation of a manufacturer of quality and safe products;
• acquisition of a marketing tool to attract more loyal consumers and new business partners;
• Elimination of barriers to trade in the European and international market and the problems of mutual recognition of the results of conformity assessment in the field of food safety;
• increase the competitiveness of the enterprise's products due to the availability of a certificate recognized on international markets.

The Union of the Arab Maghreb is a union of several states in Africa - Algeria, Libya, Mauritania, Morocco, Tunisia.

Algeria

The economy of Algeria is based mainly on the extraction of hydrocarbon raw materials, also developed agriculture, fishing for seafood. The volume of exports in 2005 is $ 44.4 billion, while imports are $ 20 billion. Algeria is a member of OPEC, WTO, the African Union. In September 2005, the country received the status of an associate member of the European Union and actively participates in the process of trade cooperation between the countries of the region.

In order to optimize costs for trade transactions and import of goods subject to mandatory certification to Algeria, we can provide manufacturers with a document of compliance (quality certificate) issued by the authorized inspection and certification body. This document must certify the conformity of imported goods with the technical norms and standards of this country.

Authorized bodies can issue a proper document of compliance - a certificate of quality control of goods, or another document (depending on the category of goods and the name of the certifying authority), which simplifies the process of customs clearance of imported goods.

The Algerian certificate of quality indicates that the goods meet the mandatory requirements for safety and quality, promotes international trade, helps prevent delays in the clearance of goods at customs, and also helps reduce the potential losses associated with the import of goods that do not meet the established standards.

These documents are issued after confirmation of the fact of compliance of the goods with all established requirements.

Our company, which has extensive experience in conducting conformity assessment programs around the world, offers exporting and importing companies effective integrated solutions to ensure compliance of goods imported into Algeria with the standards established in that country, as soon as possible.

Tunisia

When Tunisia gained independence in 1956, it was an agrarian country. Since then, the industrial base of Tunisia has considerably expanded, the dominant role in which belongs to several large sectors. The development of the Tunisian economy depends on the export of oil and mineral raw materials, the growth of manufacturing industries, the development of tourism and income from abroad. By the early 1980s, agriculture remained an important but far from the predominant sector of the economy. The gross domestic product (GDP) of Tunisia in 1997 was 18.7 billion US dollars. In recent years, income has increased steadily, and since 1956 to 1997 it has risen from $ 300 to $ 2034. The development of the economy in independent Tunisia has proceeded at a relatively rapid pace, but, as it turned out, is not always in the right direction.

Upon the issuance of the certificate, registration is considered complete, and this trademark falls under the protection of public authorities.

Morocco

Morocco is a developing agrarian country. The Moroccan economy is viewed as a relatively liberal economy, functioning on the basis of the law of supply and demand. Since 1993, a policy of privatization has been carried out here, as a result of which some sectors of the economy have moved from government to private hands.

The Kingdom maintains close trade relations with the European Union. In the past few years, the slowdown in the pace of economic development of the EU has had a corresponding impact on the state of exports from Morocco to Europe. The government of the country sees its main goal in improving the business climate. To achieve this goal, the government has taken a number of measures aimed at creating comfortable conditions for doing business. Taking advantage of its geographical proximity to Europe and the relatively low cost of labor, Morocco seeks to build a diversified, open, market-oriented economy.

Import of Products

Legislation of Morocco is aimed at the development and strengthening of international relations. All imported products are carefully checked at the customs. The purpose of this control is to prevent the penetration of potentially dangerous goods into the territory of the country and to limit their distribution from one zone to another by conducting sanitary inspections of products, including plant origin at control points.

We can provide full assistance in the control of imports, which includes: 1) control of documentation; 2) identification control; 3) physical control; 4) laboratory analysis of some products. Based on the results of the inspection, the competent authorities issue an appropriate import document specifying a decision based on the results. The term for issuing such documents does not exceed 3 months, from the date of receipt of the application.

Libya

Libya is an industrial country with a planned economy. The economy of Libya largely depends on oil production, which provides about half of GDP. From 2000 to the present time, the country's economy is growing at a steady pace.

This allows the state to finance free health care, education, a large part of the housing stock and other social services at a relatively high level and support the continental championship in most components of the quality of life.
