In the experimental (non-clinical) research arena, the phrase Good Laboratory Practice (GLP) specifically refers to a quality system of management controls for research laboratories and organisations to try to ensure the uniformity, consistency, reliability, reproducibility, quality, and integrity of chemical (including pharmaceuticals) non-clinical safety tests; from physio-chemical properties through acute to chronic toxicity tests.

The UK (and the EU) will only “recognise” non-clinical safety studies conducted in full adherence to the OECD Mutual Acceptance of Data.

China is in the process of applying for provisional adherence or for full membership and, therefore, CURRENTLY non-clinical studies conducted in China will not necessarily be accepted by UK (or EU Regulators).
