Glossary of Terms

This Glossary of Terms is based on the US Code of Federal Regulations (CFR), the EU Guidelines to Good Manufacturing Practice Medicinal Products for Human and Veterinary Use (EU GMP Guide) and on the GMP Guideline of the World Health Organisation (WHO).

Terms that are not explained there may derive from other sources (e.g. ICH ) or from more recent literature.

A list of GMP-relevant abbreviations and their explanations is also available here.
