Good Laboratory Practice

Good Laboratory Practice

One Day Training Course 

Background

Good laboratory practice is the effective application of laboratory management systems to ensure that laboratory testing is planned, performed, monitored, recorded and reported in an organised and controlled manner.

This course provides training in the principles of good laboratory practice for personnel of laboratories who wish to demonstrate that they produce test results that are fit for the purpose and which would stand up to the scrutiny of, for example, Good Laboratory Practice Compliance Inspectors,  FDA or IMB Inspectors and laboratory accreditation bodies and customers

The course addresses the requirements of EN ISO/IEC 17025: 2005 General Requirements for the Competence of Testing and Calibration Laboratories as well as the common requirements of GLP Compliance (OECD & FDA) as applicable to QC/QA/Production Control Laboratories.

While the course will naturally reflect the tutor’s experience in analytical chemistry and microbiological laboratories, the content will be useful to testing laboratories of all kinds.
