Good Laboratory Practice (GLP) is intended to promote the quality and validity of test data and result. It is a managerial concept covering the organizational process and the conditions under which laboratory studies are planned, performed, monitored, recorded and reported.
GLP is a system which produces quality standard consistently by the use of some SOP, confirming the standard specification and laboratory equipments validated by trained analysts and well documented.
GLP embodies a set of principles that provides a framework within which laboratory studies are planned, performed, monitored, recorded, reported and archived. These studies are undertaken to generate data by which the hazards and risks to users, consumers and third parties, including the environment, can be assessed for pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, foods and feed additives and contaminants, novel foods and biocides.
GLP helps to assure regulatory authorities that the data submitted are a true reflection of the results obtained during the study and can therefore be relied upon when making risk/ safety assessments.
