Good Laboratory Practice (GLP): What They Are and Mistakes to Avoid

Good Laboratory Practice (GLP) is an essential international standard for ensuring the validity of experimental data and regulatory compliance. GLP covers critical aspects such as laboratory organization, staff training, instrument calibration, and accurate documentation.

A common mistake during inspections is the lack of traceability in records, often caused by outdated SOPs or incorrect use of tools. Another critical point concerns the preservation of raw data, which is often archived in a non-compliant manner.

To prevent detections, laboratories must adopt structured procedures and operational checklists that help ensure ongoing compliance monitoring. Our GLP Guide from GuideGxP offers practical tools such as logbook templates and ready-to-use checklists that simplify daily work and reduce the risk of errors.

If you are a QA Manager or a Validation Expert , our guides can support you with templates and real-world cases to help you pass audits and inspections.
