ROHS


  The Restriction of Hazardous Substances (ROHS) Directive is a set of criteria formulated by the European Union(EU) to regulate the use of toxic materials in electrical and electronic devices,system,and toys.The Directive,also known as 2002/95/EC,is effective July 1,2006.

HACCP

HACCP stands for Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Point and it is mainly designed to identify and minimize hazards in food production.In other words,HACCP is a process in which food safety is addressed by the analysis and control of biological and physical hazards.It is a global recognized standard for food safety and provides high credibility to the potential clients. HACCP define for the prevention of hazards not for the finished product inspection.It help to provide guideline to the organization on how to analysis the hazards and how to reduce or control them for human consumption.The main objective of HACCP is process and makes the product safe.The preventive approach of HACCP  is helps to improve the food management system as well as improve the quality management system.

GMP

GMP is stands here for “GOOD MANUFACTURING PRACTICE”.GMP ensures that quality is built into the organization and processes involved in the manufacture of the products and all those operations should be carried out strictly according to cGMP. The guideline describes a comprehensive quality system model, which, if implemented, will allow manufacturers to support and sustain robust, modern quality systems that are consistent with cGMP regulations. The guideline consists of fifteen chapters and two annexes on manufacturing of sterile products and biological products. The inherent flexibility of the cGMP regulations should enable manufacturers to implement a quality system in a form that is appropriate for their specific operations. This guideline applies mainly to manufacturers of medicinal products (finished pharmaceuticals). However, the principles given under each chapter and the general requirements can be extended to the manufactures of food, medical devices, herbal medicines, cosmetics, etc. In future, the Authority will establish, where appropriate, specific cGMP requirements as supplements to the main guide to address matters related to certain product quality requirements

CMMI

CMMI (Capability Maturity Model Integration) certification isn’t about certifying organizations.

Here’s a more detailed breakdown:

What is CMMI?

  • CMMI is a process improvement model that helps organizations enhance their processes and improve the quality and predictability of their products and services. 
  • It focuses on leveraging current business strategies, identifying problem areas, developing tools, and creating models for current and future processes. 
  • It’s a framework for organizations to improve their performance and achieve higher levels of maturity in their processes. 

CMMI Certifications for Individuals:

  • Certified CMMI Associate:This certification validates an individual’s understanding of the CMMI model and its application for improving performance. 
  • Certified CMMI Practitioner:This certification is for experienced professionals who can guide organizations through process improvement and help them achieve CMMI maturity levels. 
  • Certified CMMI Lead Appraiser:This certification is for individuals who can lead and participate in CMMI appraisals, assessing an organization’s process maturity. 
  • Certified CMMI Instructor:This certification is for individuals who are qualified to deliver CMMI training and education. 

CMMI Appraisals (Not Certifications):

  • Organizations are appraised against the CMMI model, not certified.
  • Appraisals assess an organization’s process maturity and identify areas for improvement.
  • The results of an appraisal can be used to identify areas for improvement and develop a plan for achieving higher levels of maturity.
  • Organizations are appraised at a maturity level (1-5) or a capability level achievement profile. 

Key Takeaways:

  • CMMI is a process improvement model, not a certification for organizations. 
  • The CMMI Institute offers various certifications for individuals who demonstrate expertise in CMMI principles and practices. 
  • Organizations are appraised against the CMMI model to assess their process maturity. 
  • CMMI certifications help individuals demonstrate their knowledge and skills in process improvement.
