What is GLP?

Good Laboratory Practice (GLP) is a quality system concerned with the organizational process and conditions under which non-clinical laboratory studies are planned, performed, monitored, recorded, reported, and archived. GLP ensures the reliability, integrity, and traceability of laboratory data used for regulatory purposes, particularly in industries such as pharmaceuticals, chemicals, cosmetics, agrochemicals, and food safety.

Purpose of GLP

The main objective of GLP is to:
  • Ensure accuracy and reliability of laboratory studies
  • Maintain data integrity and traceability
  • Promote standardized laboratory procedures
  • Ensure regulatory compliance
  • Protect public health and the environment
GLP plays a crucial role in supporting product approvals and regulatory submissions worldwide.
