GLP Auditor Certification in the EU: Directives, OECD & International Standards

The European Union has a comprehensive regulatory framework for Good Laboratory Practice (GLP) that is based on the OECD Principles of GLP and implemented through two key directives. The EU adopted GLP regulations in 1987, with amendments following the OECD in 1999.

Regulatory Authority Framework Application
European Commission Directive 2004/9/EC GLP inspections, reporting, and internal market requirements
European Commission Directive 2004/10/EC Implementation of OECD Principles of GLP
OECD OECD Principles of GLP (as revised in 1997) Mutual Acceptance of Data (MAD
National Authorities Member State GLP Compliance Monitoring Programmes Inspection and enforcement
The EU has concluded Mutual Recognition Agreements on GLP with Israel, Japan, and Switzerland. Data generated in accordance with OECD GLP principles is accepted in other OECD member countries through the Mutual Acceptance of Data (MAD) system.

EU Inspections

GLP Inspections, Compliance Risk & Training Records

What Happens When GLP Training Falls Short

EU Member State competent authorities, designated under Directive 2004/9/EC, conduct GLP inspections of test facilities. Inspection findings can have serious consequences:

  • Non compliance statements affecting the acceptance of study data
  • Rejection of study data in regulatory submissions
  • Suspension or revocation of GLP compliance status
  • Legal action under national laws implementing the GLP Directives

Common EU GLP inspection observations include:

  • Inadequate personnel training and documentation
  • Insufficient quality assurance oversight
  • Poor documentation practices and data integrity issues
  • Inadequate facilities and equipment maintenance
Inspection Ready Training Records

Our 21 CFR Part 11 compliant certificates provide auditable, documented training records that FDA investigators accept during inspections.

OECD GLP Principles Matter

Why OECD GLP Principles Matter for EU Laboratories

The EU has fully adopted the OECD Principles of Good Laboratory Practice (GLP) through Directives 2004/9/EC and 2004/10/EC. This framework ensures the Mutual Acceptance of Data (MAD) across over 50 member countries, with direct implications for how GLP audits are structured for European test facilities.

EU GLP Aligned with OECD Standards

EU GLP requirements are based on the OECD Principles of GLP (as revised in 1997). Training that covers OECD-harmonised GLP principles ensures your facility's data is accepted by all OECD member countries, including the FDA, EMA, and WHO.

International Recognition of EU GLP Data

Non-clinical safety data generated in EU test facilities that comply with OECD GLP principles are recognised by all OECD member countries through the Mutual Acceptance of Data (MAD) system. Our training covers the core GLP principles recognised by all PIC/S member authorities — including FDA, EMA, and WHO.

Multi-Market Compliance for EU Laboratories

EU laboratories supplying data for global regulatory submissions must meet multiple frameworks simultaneously. Our GLP courses cover all relevant standards in a single, comprehensive program, ensuring your data is accepted by the EMA, FDA, and other major regulators.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q Is online GLP Auditor Certification accepted by EU regulators?

EU regulators do not mandate a specific training delivery format. What matters is that training is documented, role appropriate, and effective. Our 21 CFR Part 11 compliant certificates provide verifiable proof of training that EMA, MHRA, and other EU competent authorities accept during inspections.

Q What is the difference between the OECD Focused and FDA Focused GLP Internal Auditor courses?

The OECD Focused course is based on the OECD Principles of GLP (as revised in 1997), which form the basis for EU GLP requirements. The FDA Focused course is based on 21 CFR Part 58, which is specific to FDA requirements. Both courses provide comprehensive internal auditor training.

Q What are the prerequisites for the GLP Internal Auditor courses?

Completion of basic GLP awareness training of at least four hours or equivalent on the job experience, and at least six months of experience in a nonclinical laboratory testing facility.

Q Do you offer group discounts for EU companies?

Yes. We offer corporate and group enrollment options for teams of all sizes. Contact us for a custom quote.

Q How long do I have access to the course?

All courses include lifetime access — study at your own pace, on your own schedule.
