This new facility has bigger warehouse area with separate raw materials, packaging materials and finished goods areas.
Premises
The manufacturing plant of A.M. Rieta is constructed with the appropriate designs and measures to avoid cross contaminations, materials/products mix-up and difficult cleaning. The plant has adequate space to facilitate orderly storage, logical personnel flow, material flow and equipment flow.
Quality Policy
To manufacture and deliver products of high and consistent quality at the most reasonable price that will meet the expectation of our customers as well as the regulatory authority.
We are committed in maintaining an effective quality management system that embraces all the essential requirements of Good Manufacturing Practice as well as training our staff to be quality conscious.
Equipment
Only GMP designed equipment are being used in our manufacturing plant. The available machines/equipments are capable of catering to all sizes of business. It can ever produce the smallest batches that can answer to the small volume needs of Dermatology clinics.
Design Capabilities
There is an R&D Department that is capable of designing products according to clients’ wants. The formulation of the product will be based on the type of benefit that the clients want to promise to their consumers.
Quality System
Strict Quality Control is being implemented throughout the manufacture of products from receipt of materials to release of finished products to ensure product quality and safety
Documentations
There is a Quality Control Team that oversees implementation of the quality system. Written quality program, standard operating procedures, work instructions and other needed documents in manufacture are in place to ensure product quality and safety. There is a program to document all activities in the manufacture of the products, to do quality check of the finished products and to check that the internal program is in place.
Internal Quality Control and Inspection
Standard Operating Procedures are in place to conduct quality control in-process checks in the production line. There is a program to do on-going inspection of the production line while manufacture is in progress. The implementation of the program is being checked by a responsible person that heads the Quality Control Department
Raw Material Identification (types, sources, traceability)
All raw materials received are accompanied by a Certificate of Analysis (COA). QC evaluates the COA and match this with the written specifications. If aligned with the requirements, QC gets samples and evaluates the appearance, color and odor of the materials whichever is applicable.
Micro Lab Facility
Our company has its own microbiological laboratory which is devoted for culturing, examining different samples through conventional method (total plate count, yeast and molds, and enrichment culture technique) and other related activities such as gram staining, and environmental swab testing.
Methods used in microbial analysis is based on Bacteriological Analytical Manual (BAM) for cosmetics and takes 3-7 days for good results.
The facility uses some of the advanced technology for microbial analysis like, incubators (calibrated in different temperatures like 26 °C and 32 °C, annually), autoclave (for sterilization and decontamination), colony counter (for colony counts), Biosafety Cabinet (BSC) which is annually calibrated for better use and accurate microbial result of the analysis, etc..
This isolated facility has a crucial role in an effective infection prevention and control (IPC).
Laboratory
It is an isolated, ventilated workplace for sterility, safety and protection for both laboratory workers and materials where the analyst performs both organoleptic and physicochemical tests. For accurate results, all our equipment are calibrated annually.
Organoleptic Test: appearance, color, odor, and touch
Physicochemical Test: pH determination, TDS (total dissolved solid), EC (electrical conductivity, moisture content, gravimetric test, viscosity, specific gravity, alcohol content, cloud point, foam test, density test
