Abstract

Analytical laboratories in Japan, operating more often as departments within a company than as independent contractors, have to contend with different good laboratory practice (GLP) standards. Problems also occur in the analytical laboratories which must comply with GLP, good manufacturing practice (GMP) and good clinical practice (GCP) regulations within the same facility. The status of these GLP-complied analytical laboratories is reviewed with regard to assurance program, validation method, laboratory information management, and security systems. The differences in the responsible authorities and scopes under the six GLPs are also briefly described. Analytical tests in GLP are not itemized as a test for accreditation. Therefore, the accreditation of analytical laboratories in Japan is currently granted as a part of ISO 9000 approvals.
