Good Laboratory Practice
Good Laboratory Practice (GLP) is an internationally established quality system for non-clinical safety studies relevant to human health and the environment. This seminar is for students, graduates and professionals who plan, conduct, monitor or document GLP studies.
Seminar content
- History and principles of GLP
- Current legal and regulatory framework
- Applying GLP principles in practice
- Organisation and responsibilities within a GLP test facility
- Planning and conduct of a GLP study
- Documentation, data integrity and archiving
- Internal quality assurance
- Regulatory GLP monitoring and inspections
- Practical examples and inspection preparation
Regulatory background
GLP ensures that non-clinical safety studies are planned, conducted, documented and archived in accordance with defined quality standards. In Germany, GLP principles are set out in the Chemicals Act; internationally, the OECD Principles form the main framework.
Under defined conditions, the OECD Mutual Acceptance of Data (MAD) system enables international acceptance of GLP-compliant study data and helps avoid unnecessary repeat testing.
This seminar shows how GLP is implemented in a test facility, from study planning through quality assurance and documentation to archiving. You will learn the key responsibilities and gain practical insight into preparing for and conducting GLP inspections.
