The EXCiPACT™ certification scheme for pharmaceutical excipients provides a GMP standard that is accepted worldwide and builds on PromoCell’s existing ISO 9001:2015 quality management system. “To achieve EXCiPACT GMP certification, PromoCell was required to demonstrate that its pharmaceutical excipients are manufactured according to the GMP guidelines, as well as ensuring compliance in our raw material supply chain, production environment, production processes and storage conditions.,” says Dörte Keimer, Head of Quality Assurance at PromoCell.
