GLP and GMP are quality systems concerned with organizing and documenting the testing and manufacturing of products like pharmaceuticals, pesticides, and chemicals.
GLP applies to nonclinical safety studies and helps ensure data submitted to regulators is valid. It originated in the 1970s in response to cases like Industrial Bio Test, which falsified lab results. GLP principles cover the organization, facilities, equipment, standard operating procedures, performance, reporting, and record keeping of studies.
GMP aims to consistently produce quality products by having quality control systems in place and following manufacturing procedures. It is designed to minimize risks that cannot be eliminated through testing. The ten GMP principles include facility design, written procedures, documentation, validation, monitoring
