Which statement lists typical records kept in GMP?

• A. Calibration certificates only.
• B. Production schedules, marketing reports, and employee payroll.
• C. Cleaning schedules, equipment maintenance logs, and temperature logs.
• D. Inventory counts and supplier invoices.

Answer: (C)

In GMP, the records kept are those that show how the manufacturing environment and equipment are controlled. Cleaning schedules provide evidence that sanitation tasks are performed regularly, helping prevent cross-contamination. Equipment maintenance logs document servicing and repairs, ensuring machinery operates within specifications and doesn’t introduce hazards. Temperature logs record storage and process conditions, ensuring products stay within required limits to prevent spoilage or microbial growth.

The other options miss key GMP record types: calibration certificates alone don’t cover ongoing process control; production schedules, marketing reports, and payroll aren’t focused on maintaining product safety and process integrity; inventory counts and supplier invoices relate more to procurement than to day-to-day GMP process control.
