The Certified Pharmaceutical GMP Professional Handbook
The purpose of this handbook is to highlight and partially annotate what the founders of the Certified Pharmaceutical Good Manufacturing Practices Professional (CPGP) examination believed to be the main topics comprising worldwide pharmaceutical good manufacturing practices (GMP). Logic and deduction aided the examination development volunteers and the professional staff of the Certification Offerings group at ASQ during their drafting and finalization of the inaugural version of the CPGP body of knowledge (BoK). The latter undergoes review and revision every five years per certification offerings and ASQ policy and procedures. Because each ASQ examination handbook must reflect the current BoK of its exam, this handbook will obligatorily undergo revision processes after all future CPGP BoK revisions. As the world becomes ever more paperless and electronically nimble and adaptive to changes, reference books such as the CPGP Handbook are obligated to provide as many means as possible of bridging, if not transcending, the predictable (and inevitable) changes to laws, regulations, guidelines/guidance documents, compendia, and consensus standards. This handbook inculcates the reader in where and how to tap appropriate URLs and other sources of the changing laws, regulations, guidelines, compendia, and consensus standards.
