What is GLP?

GLP certification is a recognition that your laboratory follows standardized protocols in conducting non-clinical research. It ensures the reliability, consistency, and integrity of data submitted to regulatory authorities such as the FDA, OECD, and EMA. Unlike ISO certifications, GLP is not issued by a single body but is verified through inspections from designated national authorities.

GLP consulting helps labs implement SOPs, train personnel, validate instruments, and maintain detailed records in line with international GLP guidelines.

Why is GLP important?

Laboratories operating without GLP risk rejection of their study results in regulatory submissions. For businesses involved in drug development, food safety, cosmetics, and chemical testing, GLP is a non-negotiable requirement. It also builds a foundation for higher certifications such as GxP, ISO 17025, or FDA 21 CFR Part 11.

Choosing GLP not only supports regulatory approvals but ensures data produced in your lab meets scientific integrity and reproducibility standards.

What are the benefits of GLP?

  1. Ensures credibility and acceptability of your lab data worldwide.
  2. Reduces the risk of compliance violations and failed inspections.
  3. Facilitates collaboration with global pharmaceutical and agrochemical firms.
  4. Standardizes laboratory operations and documentation.
  5. Supports ethical and traceable research practices.

What kind of businesses can benefit from GLP?

  1. Regulatory Acceptance – Enables submission of test data to regulators like CDSCO, FDA, and OECD bodies.
  2. Enhanced Market Access – Strengthens eligibility for international R&D partnerships.
  3. Improved Lab Efficiency – Establishes SOPs, quality checks, and robust study planning.
  4. Risk Mitigation – Prevents loss of data credibility or costly repeat studies.
  5. Higher Client Confidence – Assures customers of transparent, valid, and ethical testing results.
  6. Foundation for Future Accreditations – Paves the way to attain ISO 17025, GxP, or FDA compliance.
  7. Reputation Management – Positions your lab as trustworthy and globally recognized.
