Good Laboratory Practice (GLP) regulations were created by the FDA in the 1970s in response to cases of poor laboratory practices and fraudulent activities in safety testing. GLP aims to ensure that non-clinical safety studies are well-planned, performed, monitored, recorded, and reported in a uniform manner to assure data quality and integrity. Key aspects of GLP include requirements for facilities, equipment, standard operating procedures, personnel training, test system characterization, record keeping, and quality assurance programs. Following GLP standards helps generate reliable and mutually accepted non-clinical data to support regulatory approval of products.

2. GOOD LABORATORY PRACTICE

3.  In the early 70’s FDA became aware of cases of poor laboratory
practice all over the US.
 They discovered many fraudulent activities and a lot of poor
lab practices.
 Examples of some poor lab practices are :
1.Equipment do not calibrated to standard form,therefore
giving wrong measurement.
GLP was first introduced in New Zealand and Denmark in 1972, and
then in US in 1978 in response to Industrial Bio Test Labs scandal.

5. Good Laboratory Practice (GLP)
 GLP is a regulation created by USFDA and these regulations was
proposed on November 19,1976 and designated as a new part of
Chapter 21 of the Code of Federal Regulations(CFR) as 21 CFR
Part 58 in 1979.
 GLP in OECD principles is defined as “a quality system
concerned with the organizational process and the conditions in
which non-clinical health and environmental safety studies was
planned, performed, monitored, recorded, archived and reported”.

6. GLP :-
1) GLPs was initially invoked in a reaction to malpractices in the
laboratories conducting safety experiments of medicines.
2) In the early 1970s,research laboratories in the USA found doing
work in unethical ways:-
Data generation without conduct of the study.
Replacement of dead animal and fabrication of test result.

7. Advantages of GLP
:- Assures that the data in true reflection of result obtained from
studies.
:-Preclinical safety and residue safety.
:-Generation of high quality test data.
:-Mutual acceptance of data
:-Increases public confidence.
:-Shortens the time-to-market for new products.
Disadvantages of GLP
:-More man power is required.
:-Expensive process.

8. Objectives of GLP
1.)GLP makes sure that the data submitted was true reflection of
the results obtained from the study.
2.)GLP make sure that the data is traceable.
3.)Promotes international acceptance of test.

11. A. General provisions
1) It prescribes GLP for conducting non-clinical laboratory studies
that support research and marketing permits of products
regulated by FDA.
2) Applicability to studies performed under grants and contracts.
3) Inspection of the testing facility.

12. B. Organization and Personnel
1) Organization
2) Personnel
3) Testing facility management
4) Study director
5) Quality assurance unit

13. C. Facilities
1) General facilities:
a) Testing system facilities
b) Archive facilities
c) Waste disposal
2) Animal care facilities

14. D. Equipment
1.)Appropriate design and adequate capacity.
2.)Equipment used for generation, measurement or
assessment of data shall be adequately tested,
calibrated and standardized.
3.)Log books for each equipment should be there.

15. E. Testing Facilities Operation
1) Standard operating procedures(SOPs)
2) Reagents and solutions
3) Animal care

16. F.Test and Control Articles
1) Test and control article characterization
2) Test and control article handling
3) Mixture of articles with carriers

17. G. Protocol for and conduct of a
nonclinical laboratory study
1) Protocol
2) Conduct of a nonclinical study

18. Storage, retrieval and retention of records and data:-
1) Archives should be there for orderly storage and expedient of all
raw data, documentation, protocols, specimens and final reports.
2) Index of material retained.
3) Master schedule sheet, copies of protocols and records of
Quality Assurance inspections shall be maintained by QAU.
4) Wet specimens and samples of test and control articles shall be
retained until the quality of preparation affords evaluation.
