The Global Retailer and Manufacturer Alliance (GRMA) is a nonprofit Certification Program Owner (CPO) with members from major retailers, manufacturers, trade associations and certification bodies. The alliance was formed in an effort to create an independent, accountable organization, driven by industry leaders to manage harmonized quality standards and help promote consumer safety in several non-food related industries, including dietary supplements, cosmetics, and over-the-counter drug products.
Our certification program utilized consensus-based quality system standards for Good Manufacturing Practices (GMPs) developed through the American National Standards (ANSI) process, NSF/ANSI 455-2, 455-3, 455-4, for each of the categories we cover and we are committed to:
Strengthening safety, quality and trust throughout the supply chain
Ensuring audit and auditor consistency
Reducing the number of audits and financial costs associated with audits
Combining regulatory requirements and retailer quality requirements
Having multiple qualified certification bodies who are able to certify to the new standards
NSF/ANSI 455 Standards
The NSF/ANSI 455 Standards are now fully implemented and approved CB’s are accredited to provide audit services. You must be a GRMA member to schedule an audit. For membership information please visit our Membership Page.
