The most significant precondition for a reliable and secure partnership is the responsible handling of raw materials. Quality is the most important aspect of responsible handling by our employees. In order to meet the high quality standards and secure these standards in the long-term, a team of experts has undertaken to ensure consistent compliance with all relevant directives.
At the end of 2003, BMP implemented a quality management system which was certified according to DIN EN ISO 9001 at the beginning of 2004 and has been reviewed at regular intervals since then.
In December 2006 the competent pharmacovigilance agency in Schleswig-Holstein confirmed BMP’s GMP compliance by granting us manufacturing authorisation pursuant to Section 13 and import authorisation pursuant to Section 72 of the German Medicines Act (AMG). We have a corresponding GMP certificate.
