WHO-The World Health Organization version
 

The World Health Organization pharmaceutical industry in over one hundred countries worldwide, primarily in the developing world. The GMP (EU-GMP) enforces more compliance requirements than the WHO GMP, as does the Food and Drug Administrations version in the US. Similar GMPs are used in other countries, with Australia, Canada, Japan, Singapore and others having highly developed/sophisticated GMP requirements. In the United Kingdom, the Medicines Act (1968) covers most aspects of GMP in what is commonly referred to as The Orange Guide, because of the colour of its cover, is officially known as The Rules and Guidance for Pharmaceutical Manufacturers and Distributors.
