The GLP Good Laboratory Practices System is essential for the following studies:

      Non-clinical safety studies for drug development

      In the development of biocidals (chemicals used to combat and destroy pests in human life or in their environment)

      Security studies

      Development of agricultural pesticides (substances used to prevent, control or reduce harmful organisms)

      Production of toxic chemicals (toxic substances which are medically toxic and poisonous)

      In the development of food additives

      Testing of materials with explosive properties

      In the development of cosmetic products

Laboratories operating in these areas, GLP Good Laboratory Applications System Thanks to them they provide a lot of benefits. For example, the safety test data of chemical products and substances used in industry has provided the quality and reliability that is a prerequisite for mutual recognition between countries. The quality of test data, in which the effects of these chemicals and products on the environment and health are determined, is comparable. Test data is also acceptable across countries.

On the other hand, GLP Good Laboratory Practices The system avoids unnecessary test repetitions. No unnecessary waste of time and resources during testing is also avoided. There is also no experimental animal use.

Good Laboratory Practices are not considered necessary for:

  • Basic research

      In routine analysis

      In the development of new analytical methods

      In quality control tests

  • Tests used to determine the properties of a marketed food product

      In market surveillance analysis

The requirements of the GLP Good Laboratory Practices System are:

      The laboratories must have already established the Quality Management System and completed the relevant documentation.

      The processes related to the activities, written instructions and standard operating procedures (application instructions) should be prepared.

      In laboratories, validation and calibrated tools and equipment should be used.

      People working in laboratories should be trained and competent.

TURCERT is one of the certification bodies providing consultancy services to laboratories seeking to obtain GLP Good Laboratory Practice System Certificate. Organizations that wish to obtain information about the benefits of these documents or to have this certificate can apply to TURCERT managers and employees.
