Good Laboratory Practice (GLP)

Good Laboratory Practice (GLP) is a quality framework that ensures enterprises use standard best practices to plan. Perform, monitor, document and report the non-clinical laboratory studies.  

It is applicable to safety studies to support regulatory submissions for pharmaceuticals, chemicals, medical devices, and related products. The objective clearly is to ensure that study data is reliable, traceable, and capable of withstanding any sort of regulatory inspection.  

Also, GLP outlines the study protocols, raw data documentation, equipment calibration and maintenance, personnel qualifications, quality oversight, and record retention.
