Implementation of the OECD GLP principles at test facilities in Japan.
For the implementation of the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OEC D) principles of good laboratory practice (GLP) and performance of studies according to worldwide regulatory requirements, test facilities (TFs) in Japan have been making constant effort to promote better understanding of this matter and improve communication with monitoring authorities (MAs). Their activities to ensure the international acceptance of data in accordance with the OEC D principles of GLP under the programme of mutual acceptance of data (MAD) are discussed with particular reference to the scope of Japan Society of Quality Assurance (JSQA), which comprises most of TFs in Japan, including international activities with EU, USA and Asian countries to establish global quality network.
