OverviewAny test facility which conducts, or intends to conduct, regulatory studies must comply with good laboratory practice ( GLP) regulations when carrying out safety tests on:. pharmaceuticals. agrochemicals. veterinary medicines. industrial chemicals. cosmetics. additives for human food and animal feed.
Good Laboratory Practice (GLP) The OECD Principles of Good Laboratory Practice (GLP) ensure the generation of high quality and reliable test data related to the safety of industrial chemical substances and preparations. The principles have been created in the context of harmonising testing procedures for the Mutual Acceptance of Data (MAD).
biocidesThe test facility must belong to the UK GLP compliance monitoring programme, run by the UK GLP Monitoring Authority (UK GLPMA). The programme is only open to facilities in the UK.Test facilities that are contracted to work on part of a larger regulatory study should also usually be members of the compliance programme.
