Good Engineering Practice (GEP) is a set of standards and principles designed to ensure high quality, safety and efficiency in terms of engineering and other technical aspects across various fields and industries. GEP is used in a variety of fields, including drug manufacture, food processing (German translation: Lebensmittelverarbeitung), biotechnology, energy, chemicals and more.

The basic principles of Good Engineering Practice include:

• Planning and design: Planning and design of technical systems, devices and equipment with regard to safety, efficiency, durability and compliance with regulations.
• Technical specifications: Development of precise technical specifications (translation into German: technische Spezifikationen) for the design and manufacture of technical systems and devices.
• Quality control: Implementation of quality control systems to ensure that technical solutions and products meet standards and specifications.
• Safety: Ensuring operations and equipment safety with adequate standards and procedures to prevent accidents and other incidents.
• Ecological sustainability (German: ökologische Nachhaltigkeit): Consideration of environmental aspects in the development of technical solutions in order to minimize the negative impact on the environment.
• Compliance with regulations and standards: Compliance with national and international regulations, standards and guidelines that apply to a specific industry or field.
• Staff training: Training of engineering staff on GEP guideline compliance.
  Documentation and reporting: Keeping detailed documentation and reporting regarding engineering decision-making, work and results.
• Adherence to budget and deadlines: Managing projects such that they comply with budgets and deadlines.
  Audits and inspections: Conducting of audits and inspections to monitor compliance with GEP guidelines.

Good engineering practice plays a decisive role in ensuring quality, safety and efficiency in the planning, manufacture and operation of technical systems and equipment in various fields. This contributes to the creation of reliable and sustainable technical solutions and products, which is crucial for ensuring consumer safety and environmental protection in various industries.
