Packaging protects products and ensures they remain safe and effective until use. Quality Assurance (QA) involves verifying that products meet required standards. ASTM International and ISO develop internationally recognized standards to ensure safety, quality, and consistency. Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP) are guidelines for producing medicines safely and reliably. The United States Pharmacopeia (USP) sets quality standards specifically for pharmaceuticals. The FDA oversees the safety and efficacy of food and drugs in the U.S. Pharma packaging involves designing protective, informative containers for medications. Supply Chain Management coordinates the movement of products from production to consumers, while Val generally refers to value or worth in these processes.
