Good Laboratory Practice (GLP) represents a comprehensive quality assurance framework designed to govern the execution of non-clinical laboratory studies. It establishes standardized principles and procedures that uphold the accuracy, reliability, and credibility of data produced across various scientific sectors, including pharmaceuticals, chemicals, agrochemicals, and cosmetics. GLP highlights the critical role of properly implemented Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs), trained laboratory personnel, and well-defined organizational components in ensuring the quality of research outputs. By maintaining laboratories at high operational standards and enforcing appropriate training and safety measures, GLP enhances research efficiency and supports the evaluation of product safety and efficacy. Within this system, Quality Assurance (QA) functions as an independent entity that monitors and verifies adherence to GLP guidelines, approved study protocols, and established SOPs.
