Good Laboratory Practice (GLP)

GLP is a formal regulation created by the USFDA as these regulations were proposed on November 19, 1976, and designated as a new part of Chapter 21 of the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) as 21 CFR Part 58 in 1979. In 1981 an organization named OECD (Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development) produced GLP principles that are international standards.
