Good Laboratory Practice (GLP)

    In Regulatory & approvals

    Good Laboratory Practice is the quality system for non-clinical safety studies — typically laboratory and animal work done before a treatment reaches people. It covers study planning, records, facilities, and reporting so that results are reliable and reconstructable. GLP applies before trials; GCP applies to trials in people.
