Team of Pharmacology & Toxicology of Accuprec Research Labs has geared up for OECD GLP Certification. Under leadership of Dr. Manish Rachchh, Director (R & D) of Accuprec, senior team members Mr. Kalpesh, Ms. Neha and Ms. Kruti have planned out 2 months intensive internal training activities for OECD-GLP. In the same series, 1st training program was conducted by Ms. Neha Lavle.
In the experimental (non-clinical) research arena, the phrase good laboratory practice or GLP specifically refers to a quality system of management controls for research laboratories and organizations to ensure the uniformity, consistency, reliability, reproducibility, quality, and integrity of chemical (including pharmaceuticals) non-clinical safety tests; from physio-chemical properties through acute to chronic toxicity tests.
GLP was first introduced in New Zealand and Denmark in 1972, and later in the US in 1978 in response to the Industrial BioTest Labs scandal. It was followed a few years later by the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) Principles of GLP in 1992; the OECD has since helped promulgate GLP to many countries. GLP applies to non-clinical studies conducted for the assessment of the safety or efficacy of chemicals (including pharmaceuticals) to man, animals and the environment. National GLP Compliance Monitoring Authority was established by the Department of Science & Technology, Government of India, with the approval of the Union Cabinet on April 24, 2002.
