Good Laboratory Practice regulatory compliance

Tight regulations ensure pharmaceutical, chemical and biological products being developed will be safe for humans, animals and the environment.

Around the world, mandatory testing is required to demonstrate products are safe for their intended use. In the UK testing is regulated via the Good Laboratory Practice (GLP) Regulations and compliance is monitored by the UK GLP Monitoring Authority.

Ensuring the delivery of reliable data and safer products to market

The primary benefit of Good Laboratory Practice (GLP) is data integrity – this ensures that data is accurate, secure, attributable, available and reliable.

Testing facilities such as ours are required to be a member of the GLP compliance monitoring program (MHRA) which enables our clients to submit validated data to their regulatory authority for review and approval of their product.

Once approved, only then is the product safe to be used by people, animals (including food and animal feed) or released into the environment.

RPS conduct a wide range of tests to evaluate chemical properties of Agrochemicals in compliance with OECD guidelines, following internationally accepted methods and strict compliance to OECD principles of GLP.
