GMP Compliance Consulting for the Manufacturing of Tattooing Products from gempex to V.D. Ledermann and edding TATTOO

edding is an owner-managed public limited company with more than 600 employees. The Group's business activities are divided into the segments Writing and Marking, Visual Communication, Digital Ink Solutions and Tattoo. The company offers tailor-made, high-quality and professional products for almost every purpose. More than 50% of all edding products for the European market are manufactured by the subsidiary V.D. Ledermann.

edding aims to get into the increasingly regulated tattoo market with self-developed, EU-compliant colour formulation and offering tattooing services in its own tattoo studio.

gempex supports V.D.Ledermann and edding TATTOO.
For the production of the newly developed tattoo inks at the V.D. Ledermann's Bautzen site, an existing quality assurance system had to be expanded in order to implement the requirements of Cosmetics GMP and to prepare it for certification. A certified quality assurance system in accordance with ISO 22716, Cosmetics GMP, is intended to guarantee the consistently safe product standard.

Consulting and support were provided for the preparation of qualification and
validation documents. Templates for the qualification of facilities and rooms as well as for the validation of cleaning processes were developed. Qualifications, evaluations and reports on the validations carried out were prepared. After the transfer of the GMP system into routine operation by the customer, a workshop was designed to train new colleagues for ISO 22716 and to accompany the production in routine.

In partnership with the customer's team, the interesting task was accompanied trustfully and flexibly in development and production.

Nach erfolgreich abgeschlossener ISO 22716 Zertifizierung hat edding das erste Tattoostudio in Hamburg eröffnet, das ausschließlich mit den neuartigen und EU-konformen edding Tattoofarben der V.D. Ledermann arbeitet. Der Umfang dieser Qualitätsverpflichtung ist deutschlandweit im Bereich Tattoo bisher einzigartig.

Having successfully completed ISO 22716 certification, edding has opened the first tattoo studio in Hamburg to work exclusively with the new and EU-compliant edding tattoo inks from V.D. Ledermann. The scope of this quality commitment is unique in the tattoo sector throughout Germany.
