Relevance of Good Laboratory Practices in Conformity Assessment
摘要
The chapter explores the significance of Good Laboratory Practices (GLP) in conformity assessment, emphasizing the role of laboratories in ensuring compliance with standards and regulations. It traces the historical evolution of GLP, highlighting its development to improve data reliability and quality. The importance of GLP in laboratory operations is underscored, with a focus on enhancing accuracy, consistency, and transparency. The concept of Mutual Acceptance of Data (MAD) is discussed, showcasing its value in sectors like pharmaceuticals and chemicals. Organizations such as OECD play a key role in promoting GLP globally, extending its reach beyond member countries. The chapter also examines the relationship between GLP and ISO/IEC 17025, with insights into future directions for conformity assessment and laboratory practices.
