GLP-INSPECTION

DANAK performs GLP compliance monitoring (or GLP inspections) at companies carrying out non-clinical health and environmental safety studies with regard to industrial chemicals, pesticide and biocide products, food and feed additives, cosmetic products and other products such as detergents.

GLP inspection of companies carrying out GLP studies is performed in accordance with OECD principles of good laboratory practice (GLP).

By good laboratory practice is meant procedures and conditions under which laboratory studies are planned, performed, monitored, recorded, reported and archived in accordance with the OECD principles of GLP. The purpose of GLP is to promote the development of quality data. Comparable quality of test data forms the basis for the mutual acceptance of data among countries.

GLP compliance monitoring of test facilities or test sites is carried out periodically with the purpose of verifying the companies’ adherence to GLP principles.

GLP requirements are connected to regulatory requirements for the relevant product type.
