NSF/ANSI 455-2: Dietary Supplements GMP Certification

NSF offers audits and certification for dietary supplement products under the NSF/ANSI 455-2 Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP) standard.

NSF facilitated the NSF/ANSI 455-2 GMP audit standard with industry representatives, public health officials, regulators and consumer interest groups to promote safer dietary supplement products for consumers worldwide.

The standard is designed to strengthen safety, quality and trust throughout the supply chain and encompass regulatory requirements, retailer quality requirements, as well as industry best practices. Certification to the standard serves as a communication tool between manufacturers, regulators, retailers, and consumers.

Once certified, brands will receive an NSF certificate with the globally accepted ANSI logo, use the NSF/ANSI 455 GMP certification mark according to policy and appear on the NSF Product and Services Listings for Dietary Supplement GMPs . Certified clients will also have access to a dedicated 455 GMP certification co-marketing portal that contains certification marks and assets to help promote their certification.

The benefits of NSF/ANSI 455-2 GMP certification include:

• Increases protection of your brand and minimizes risks

• Prepares your facility for regulatory inspections

• Helps your facility to build a strong quality and GMP program

• Reduces the number of GMP audits and the financial costs associated with audits

• Helps in fostering a culture of product safety and quality within your organization

• Demonstrates your commitment to product safety and quality to your customers

Scope of certification

Facilities involved in the manufacturing, packaging, and/or warehouse & distribution of dietary supplements are in scope for NSF/ANSI 455-2 and may apply for certification.

 

The importance of GMP certification for dietary supplement companies

For several reasons, NSF/ANSI 455-2 GMP certification is vital for dietary supplement companies. Firstly, it helps ensure that their products meet the highest quality and safety standards. NSF facilitated the development of the NSF/ANSI 455-2 GMP standard for dietary supplements and manages the ongoing joint committee dedicated to keeping the standard vital and current. The NSF/ANSI 455-2 joint committee comprises representatives from regulatory, industry, and standards development, working together to advance public safety in the industry.

NSF/ANSI 455-2 standard GMP-certified companies follow rigorous protocols in every manufacturing process, from sourcing raw materials to packaging the final product. This significantly reduces the risk of contamination, cross-contamination, and other manufacturing errors that could compromise the integrity of the dietary supplements.

Secondly, NSF/ANSI 455-2 GMP certification improves the credibility and reputation of dietary supplement companies. When consumers see the NSF/ANSI 455-2 GMP certification mark, they can trust that a company’s facility has undergone thorough auditing and meets stringent quality standards. This trust is crucial in an industry where there have been instances of adulterated or contaminated products. NSF/ANSI 455-2 GMP certification helps companies differentiate themselves from unscrupulous competitors and build a loyal customer base.

Lastly, NSF/ANSI 455-2 GMP certification is often a requirement to enter specific markets or work with reputable retailers. Physical and digital retailers often demand NSF/ANSI 455-2 GMP certification as a prerequisite for stocking products on their shelves. By obtaining NSF/ANSI 455-2 GMP certification, dietary supplement companies can expand their market reach and gain access to lucrative distribution channels.
