Dr. Kaushal Kishore Chandrul and *Davinder Singh

Abstract

GLP is an official regulation that was created by the FDA in 1978. The OECD (Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development) Principles of Good Laboratory Practice were first created by an Expert Group on GLP set up in 1978 under the Special Programme on the Control of Chemicals. The GLP regulations that are accepted as international standards for nonclinical laboratory studies published by the US Food and Drug Administration in 1976 supplied the basis for the work of the Expert Group, which was guided by the United States and consisted experts from the following countries and organizations: Australia, Austria, Belgium, Canada, Denmark, France, the Federal Republic of Germany, Greece, Italy, Japan, the Netherlands, New Zealand, Norway, Sweden, Switzerland, the United Kingdom, the United States, the Commission of the European Communities, the World Health Organization and the International Organization for Standardization.
