Good Laboratory Practice (GLP)

Issued by FDA (21 CFR Part 58)

Standard

Audit Scope

Non-clinical laboratory studies: organization, personnel, facilities, equipment, testing facilities operation, test/control articles, protocols, records, reporting.

What It Proves

Laboratory follows FDA GLP regulations for non-clinical studies. Primarily relevant for safety studies submitted to FDA.

What It Does Not Prove

GLP applies to non-clinical safety studies, NOT routine quality control testing. GLP compliance is stricter and more expensive than typical supplement testing — it's relevant for NDI notifications and safety studies, not routine COA work.
