NPA launched the GMP program in 1999, and was the first organization to offer a third party GMP certification for the manufacturing of dietary supplements and ingredients. Upon FDA’s final rule in 2007, NPA incorporated all of the federal requirements into the Standard and those that reflect best industry practices, and/or are necessary for the evaluation of compliance to the NPA GMP standard.
In January 2015, NPA and UL, a leading global independent safety science company, developed a certification program using the NPA GMP standard with audits conducted by UL. Companies that achieve this certification can use the co-branded dietary supplement-specific logo for use in product labeling, such as marketing materials, websites, and social media. The use of both the NPA and UL logos is available only to companies certified under the NPA GMP standard with audits conducted by UL.
