Essentials of Good Laboratory Practices (GLP)

Quality Product testing is the backbone for promotion of global trade. A product tested and approved to meet defined specifications should qualify when tested in any other laboratory.

Good laboratory practices (GLP) are an essential ingredient of a quality system that ensures uniformity, consistency, reliability and reproducibility of data. In other words the data generated using GLP practices is a true reflection on work or study and is traceable to internationally accepted standards.

ISO has evolved several standards that strengthen GLP practices.ISO 17025:2005特别是划分校准和测试实验室的认证指南。

药物和化妆品规则laid down by government of India refer to GLP guidelines in schedule L – 1.
经济合作与发展组织（经合组织）national guidelines promote the quality and validity of test data used for chemicals and chemical products.

GLP Requirements

GLP requirements fall under different heads and the essentials of each are briefly outlined below:

一般要求

这些涉及涉及的规划过程：

• Developing policy and quality plan to achieve organization objectives
• 设计组织结构开展计划
• Dividing the total work in logical pattern and assigning responsibility for each activity
• 确定内部部门工作与外部机构互动的关系与协调实现公司使命
• Design system for quality evaluation, audits and surveillance of products

Premises

• Laboratory should be located in area free from noise, dust and vibrations
• Layout planning for different sections to avoid cross contamination
• 测试和存储区域应仅限于授权人员
• 应提供足够的空间来进行测试程序
• An effluent treatment plant is necessary if laboratory waste contains harmful pollutants
• 建议集中式空调减少交叉污染并控制水分水平
• Floors should be impervious and washable

动物屋设施

根据这一切，与预防虐待动物的所有规则都应考虑

人手

人员是任何组织中最重要的资源。实验室应该有足够的工作人员，具有所需的教育背景，并能够执行质量经理所下划的所有责任。应进行水平测试和各种培训计划，以提高个人知识和技能。

Equipment

• 测试实验室应提供和维护测试程序所需的合适设备。
• Maintenance, calibration and validation of equipment is necessary to keep equipment in good working condition and improve both the efficiency and accuracy of results
• 应对所有新仪器以及添加主要配件时，应对安装资格IQ，运营资格（Oó）和性能资格（PQ）进行。
• Analytical instruments should be kept in clean environment with controlled temperature and humidity. Records of temperature and humidity should be maintained and made available whenever required.
• 仪器应在整个校准，缺陷仪器应标记为“无序”，直至修复它们

化学品和试剂

化学品和试剂should be stored and labeled according to their physicochemical properties. The label should clearly indicate date of expiry.

SOP应该在那里制备解决方案和标准化

Reference Materials

Reference materials use is recommended due to their due to their high purity, critical characteristics and suitability

参考标准可用于准备二级标准或工作标准，并将可追溯性归因于主要参考标准

Quality Systems

质量手册是有助于主文档maintain the product quality and is the permanent reference for the implementation and maintenance of quality system which describes both the management requirements as well as customer requirements.

标准作业程序

标准作业程序are documented procedures in chronological order listing established procedures and processes essential for upkeep of established quality management systems.

良好的家务和安全

Written instructions for good housekeeping and should be communicated to the staff through handouts, audio visuals or other methods.

Audits

Both internal and external audits should not be considered additional burden but on the contrary help maintain and improve quality standards.

简要介绍了概述的要求。GLP本身就是一个广阔的地区，在定义自己的质量政策时，个人实验室可能存在变化措施。

请根据您的专业化和经验留下您的评论。
