The document discusses Good Laboratory Practice (GLP) guidelines. It provides an introduction to GLP, including that GLP deals with how laboratory studies are planned, performed, monitored and reported to ensure quality and validity of test data. The history and purpose of GLP are then outlined, noting it was established to prevent fraud and promote standardized, high-quality non-clinical safety testing. Ten GLP principles are also summarized, covering topics like facilities, equipment and management responsibilities. Finally, the scope and current status of GLP in India are briefly addressed.
2. INTRODUCTION
⢠Good Laboratory Practice (GLP) deals with the
organization, process and conditions under which
laboratory studies are planned, performed,
monitored, recorded and reported.
⢠GLP data are intended to promote the quality and
validity of test data

3. Conât
⢠âIf experimental work is conducted in compliance with
GLP, with or without the aid of computer, it should be
possible for an inspector, maybe four or five years
hence, to look at the records of the work and
determine easily why, how and by whom the work was
done, who was in control, what equipment was used,
the results obtained, any problems that were
encountered and how they were overcomeâ.(Weller)

4. HISTORY
⢠The term GLP was first used in New Zealand in
1972.
⢠GLP was instituted in US following cases of fraud
generated by toxicology labs
⢠As a result of these findings, FDA promulgated the
Good Laboratory Practice (GLP) Regulations, 21 CFR
part 58, on December 22, 1978 (43 FR 59986). The
regulations became effective June 1979.

5. Conât
⢠Assure the quality and integrity of safety
Nonclinical laboratory studies
⢠In 1981 an organization named OECD
(organization for economic co-operation and
development ) produced GLP principles that are
international standard.

6. GLP DEFINITION
⢠Good Laboratory Practice(GLP) is a quality system
concerned with the organisational process and the
conditions under which non-clinical health and
environmental safety studies are planned ,
performed, monitored, recorded, archived and
reported.
4/16/2020 VMRF(DU) NSG19OCT07
7. GLP
⢠Clinical lab- Human blood test
⢠Non clinical lab- Just research, not related to
human patients
⢠GLP refers to a quality system of management
controls for laboratories where research is taking
place, the labs are not treating humans.
