GLP Auditors provide third-party verification that good laboratory practices (GLP) are followed. GLP applies to non-clinical studies conducted for the assessment of the safety or efficacy of chemicals (including pharmaceuticals) to man, animals and the environment. It ensures that safe, effective, and high-quality products are developed and registered in the most resource-efficient manner. Following GLP standards will help support your regulatory filing of an Investigational New Drug Application (IND). Good laboratory practices, along with good agricultural practices, good manufacturing practices, and good clinical practices, are overseen by regulatory agencies in order to protect the health and well-being of consumers.
