GLP Auditor Certification in the USA: FDA 21 CFR Part 58 & International Standards

The United States has a comprehensive regulatory framework for Good Laboratory Practice (GLP) that is primarily governed by the FDA's regulations in 21 CFR Part 58. These regulations specify minimum standards for the proper conduct of safety testing and contain sections on facilities, personnel, equipment, standard operating procedures, test and control articles, quality assurance, protocol and conduct of a safety study, records and reports, and laboratory disqualification.

Key Regulatory Frameworks:

Good Laboratory Practices (GLP) under 21 CFR 58 applies to nonclinical laboratory studies (safety studies) that are intended to support applications for research and marketing permits including Investigational Device Exemption and Premarket Approval applications

Compliance with GLP is intended to ensure the quality and integrity of safety data obtained from animal studies submitted to FDA

If information on nonclinical laboratory studies is provided in the IDE application, a statement that all such studies have been conducted in compliance with GLP regulations must be provided

Regulatory Authority Framework Application
FDA 21 CFR Part 58 Nonclinical laboratory studies supporting FDA applications
Nonclinical laboratory studies supporting FDA applications 21 CFR Part 11 Electronic records and signatures
OECD OECD Principles of GLP (as revised in 1997) Mutual Acceptance of Data (MAD)

GLP Inspections, Compliance Risk & Training Records

What Happens When GLP Training Falls Short

The FDA conducts inspections of nonclinical laboratories to ensure compliance with 21 CFR Part 58. The FDA has implemented a program of regular inspections and data audits to monitor laboratory compliance with the GLP requirements. Inspection findings can have serious consequences:

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
