INTERNATIONAL GOOD PRACTICE COMPLIANCE FOR CANNABIS BUSINESS

OPEN YOUR BUSINESS UP TO NEW OPPORTUNITIES AND EMERGING MARKETS ON A GLOBAL SCALE BY ADHERING TO INTERNATIONAL GOOD PRACTICES

Obtaining the right International Good Practice certifications for your cannabis operation will open the doors for your venture's growth and profitability in the global cannabis industry. Due to the plant's mixed legal status and numerous regulatory jurisdictions, identifying which certifications to pursue can be a complex and lengthy process. For example, to regulate the production and distribution of medical cannabis products, countries in the European Union, use the highest quality established pharmaceutical standards mandated by law and coordinated by the European Medicines Agency (EMA) and the European Commission. For businesses with global ambitions, International Good Practice compliance provides a distinct brand advantage, enables international exchange, and if followed will produce the highest quality products.

One of the most recognized of the Good Practices group is Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP), which is one of the common denominators of successful international cannabis product manufacturing operations. GMP helps to ensure product efficacy, safety, and quality at every step of the production process. To earn GMP certification or any international Good Practice certification, operators must review thousands of pages of regulations, and update their current processes to meet the requirements of the jurisdiction in which they want to do business. Sorting through each certification’s terms becomes even more complicated when you realize that there are numerous duplicate and conflicting requirements, which means the process can take months or even years to complete.
