The challenge

Success story 01As part of its contribution to the Covid-19 response, GMP Healthcare developed and distributed disinfectants including hand sanitisers and other associated products designed to combat "enveloped" viruses. This required compliance with appropriate regulations that evolved during the pandemic.

As competition within the marketplace spiked, there was also a growing risk to the safety and security of GMP Healthcare’s intellectual property. While prioritising patient safety, the organization needed to identify and manage those risks.



GMP Healthcare used standards to:

Broaden and formalise discussion around risk management

Ensure compliance with changing Covid-19 regulations

Inform the selection of suppliers according to requirement


Solved with standards

Standards enabled GMP Healthcare to make proactive changes based on discussions surrounding business continuity and risk management. GMP Healthcare can now handle risks to its operation and data more effectively and better prepare them for the future with robust processes and guidelines which reflect industry best practice.

Standards also provided GMP Healthcare with a defined language, simplifying its conversations with laboratories and partner organizations for greater efficiency and clarity. This has enabled it to specify testing requirements and select suppliers accordingly.



Setting the standard for success

Standards enable you to:


Find out everything currently known in any particular area or on a specific subject - especially valuable for SMEs who don’t always have the resources of larger organizations.

Ensure you’re following the best practice for your industry. It’s faster and more cost- effective to demonstrate compliance with recognized standards.

Set the bar for everything but most importantly for safety. Standards show what is known to be safe at any given point in time, which gives companies and consumers confidence in their products.
