NSF/ANSI 455-2-2024 Good Manufacturing Practice for Dietary Supplement

The purpose of this training is to understand the requirements for the NSF/ANSI 455-2-2024 Good Manufacturing Practice for Dietary Supplement Standard and how to implement them at your facility. The standard is based on 21 CFR 111 requirements, other regulations (normative references), retailer criteria, and industry best practices. The criteria in this standard were structured to follow a seven (7) systems approach. In this training we will discuss what you will need to prepare in preparation for an audit at your dietary supplement manufacturing facility.

We will not be discussing the need for documented procedures and evidentiary records in depth as this is well documented within the standard as well as the prerequisite Dietary Supplement GMP Training and is always best practice.

The training is divided into two sections:

Section 1

  • Context of the organization- this includes requirements for implementing a quality management system (QMS) as well as regulatory requirements.
  • Leadership- this includes requirements for management to demonstrate commitment to the QMS, such as assigning roles and responsibilities throughout the organization.
  • Planning, which includes requirements for planning for the ongoing function of the QMS.

Section 2

  • Support - includes requirements for management of resources for the QMS. This includes buildings and infrastructure, human resources, and control of documents.
  • Operation - includes requirements on planning and creating of the product.
  • Performance evaluation - includes requirements for monitoring the QMS and evaluation of the product.
  • Improvement - includes requirements for taking corrective action for product or process nonconformities, and actions to make the QMS better over time.
