GOOD LABORATORY PRACTICE

Good Laboratory Practice (GLP) Approval Certification

ACS Canada provides Good Laboratory Practice (GLP) Approval Certification services for pharmaceutical laboratories, biotechnology laboratories, contract research organizations, quality control laboratories, analytical testing laboratories, stability testing laboratories, clinical research support laboratories, cosmetic testing laboratories, food testing laboratories, environmental testing facilities, and related scientific operations seeking independent review of laboratory quality, data integrity, testing reliability, documentation control, and operational consistency.

GLP Approval Certification helps pharmaceutical and related laboratories demonstrate that laboratory studies, testing activities, records, equipment, personnel competence, sample handling, study controls, and reporting practices are managed with reliability, traceability, and scientific integrity. This approval may support confidence in laboratory results, regulatory readiness, client qualification, supplier approval, and technical credibility.

ACS Canada Good Laboratory Practice (GLP) Approval may be conducted using applicable principles of the OECD Principles of Good Laboratory Practice (GLP) and recognized laboratory quality management best practices.

ACS Canada recommends combining GLP Approval Certification with ISO/IEC 17025 laboratory management practices and ISO 9001 IAF-accredited certification where applicable to strengthen laboratory competence, quality management, documentation control, traceability, technical reliability, and international recognition.
