GOOD LABORATORY PRACTICE

Good Laboratory Practice (GLP) Approval Certification

ACS Canada provides Good Laboratory Practice (GLP) Approval Certification services for laboratories, testing facilities, calibration laboratories, research laboratories, analytical laboratories, food laboratories, pharmaceutical laboratories, environmental laboratories, chemical laboratories, microbiology laboratories, medical and clinical support laboratories, industrial laboratories, and other scientific testing and research organizations.

GLP Approval Certification is designed for organizations seeking independent verification of laboratory quality practices, technical reliability, data integrity, procedural consistency, and operational control across different types of laboratory activities.

ACS Canada has more than 29 years of experience in laboratory evaluation and assessment, initially operating under EN 45001 and later transitioning to ISO/IEC 17025 laboratory systems.

ACS Canada strongly recommends combining GLP Approval Certification with ISO 9001 IAF-accredited certification or ISO/IEC 17025 laboratory training and implementation support where applicable, in order to strengthen laboratory competence, quality management, traceability, technical reliability, and international recognition.
