Good Laboratory Practice (GLP)
Definition
Good Laboratory Practice (GLP) is a set of principles designed to ensure the reliability, consistency, and integrity of non-clinical laboratory studies conducted for the safety evaluation of medical devices, pharmaceuticals, chemicals, and other products. GLP governs study planning, execution, and reporting, ensuring compliance with regulatory requirements and ethical standards.
Relevance to the MedTech Industry
GLP ensures that preclinical studies supporting the development of medical devices are scientifically valid and regulatory-compliant. It provides confidence to regulators, manufacturers, and the public that safety data are accurate and reliable, forming the basis for regulatory submissions and approvals.
