Good Laboratory Practice
Good Laboratory Practice (GLP) is a set of principles intended to assure the quality and integrity of non-clinical laboratory studies. GLP guidelines apply to laboratories conducting safety tests on chemicals, pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, food additives, and more. These standards ensure that test data submitted to regulatory authorities are reliable and reproducible.
Implementing a GLP-compliant system is essential for laboratories aiming to achieve global recognition. It ensures that every aspect of testing — from equipment calibration to staff training and documentation — follows a structured and traceable process. At Startup Bharat, we support laboratories in building systems that meet national and international GLP requirements.
Our GLP Certification support helps organizations gain the trust of clients, regulators, and international partners. With our guidance, your lab can maintain high-quality testing standards, demonstrate transparency, and open doors to global research and export opportunities.

GLP Certification (Good Laboratory Practice) from Startup Bharat
- A framework for reliable, traceable laboratory operations
- Ensures accuracy, repeatability, and integrity in testing
- Boosts global acceptance of lab-generated data
Good Laboratory Practice (GLP) is a vital system designed to ensure consistency, quality, and integrity in laboratory studies. It sets out the essential principles and procedures to ensure that scientific data—especially for non-clinical health and environmental safety studies—is credible and reproducible. GLP ensures that test results can be trusted by regulatory bodies and customers across the globe.
Adopting GLP standards allows laboratories to enhance operational efficiency, reduce errors, and maintain structured documentation. At Startup Bharat, we work with labs to establish and maintain GLP-compliant systems that strengthen credibility and compliance. Whether it’s pharmaceuticals, chemicals, agro-products, or cosmetics, GLP helps organizations stay compliant and competitive in both national and international markets.
Our support in GLP Certification helps build confidence among clients and regulators. All certifications issued through Startup Bharat are aligned with national and global quality frameworks, ensuring data acceptance and approval by regulatory bodies across countries.
GLP Certification Process
At Startup Bharat, we help laboratories and research facilities achieve GLP (Good Laboratory Practice) Certification by aligning their operations with national and international standards such as OECD Principles and NABL guidelines.
Step-by-Step GLP Certification Process
Application & Scope Identification
We begin by understanding your laboratory’s nature of work (chemical, biological, environmental testing, etc.) and defining the scope of GLP compliance.Gap Analysis & Initial Assessment
Our experts conduct a detailed audit of your existing lab setup, documentation, procedures, equipment, and staff practices to identify non-conformities.Documentation Development
We assist in preparing or updating critical documentation including:Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs)
Equipment calibration logs
Quality assurance manuals
Staff training records
Study plans and reports
Infrastructure & Process Upgrades (If Needed)
Based on the gap report, we guide you in improving laboratory layout, environment controls, safety practices, and data integrity systems.Training & Internal Audits
Your team is trained on GLP principles and practices. A mock audit is conducted to ensure full readiness for official assessment.Final Audit by Certifying Body
A GLP-recognized authority (e.g., NABL, OECD-approved national body) performs a formal inspection and review of your lab’s systems and documentation.Issuance of GLP Certificate
Upon successful compliance, your lab is granted GLP Certification — valid typically for 3 years with periodic surveillance audits.
GLP Certification Cost
The cost of GLP (Good Laboratory Practice) Certification depends on the type of laboratory, its size, testing scope, and infrastructure readiness. At Startup Bharat, we provide end-to-end guidance with a cost-effective and transparent pricing structure.
Key Cost Factors:
✅ Type of Laboratory – Chemical, pharmaceutical, environmental, toxicology, etc.
✅ Number of Staff & Departments – More complex labs with multiple departments require detailed evaluation
✅ Documentation Status – Existing systems vs. need for new SOPs, manuals, and training
✅ Facility Readiness – Infrastructure upgrades, equipment calibration, or quality system improvements
✅ Certifying Body & Accreditation Type – Indian (e.g., NABL) or international (OECD, SAI)
Estimated Cost Range:
Small Labs / Single-Scope Units: ₹75,000 – ₹1.5 Lakhs INR
Medium Laboratories (Multi-scope): ₹1.5 Lakhs – ₹3 Lakhs INR
Large or Multi-Site Laboratories: ₹3 Lakhs – ₹6 Lakhs INR+
Reasons to Get GLP Certification
✅ Assures Accuracy and Reliability of Test Results
GLP ensures that lab data is scientifically valid, traceable, and reproducible.
✅ Required for Regulatory Approvals
GLP compliance is often mandatory for data submission to bodies like CDSCO, OECD, USFDA, and EMA.
✅ Builds Credibility with Clients and Government Agencies
Certified labs are preferred by pharma companies, research institutions, and regulatory authorities.
✅ Improves Internal Lab Practices
Enhances staff training, documentation, SOPs, and overall lab quality systems.
✅ Enables Global Recognition and Collaboration
GLP-certified labs are eligible for international research collaborations and tenders.
✅ Minimizes Errors and Non-Compliance Risks
Structured processes help reduce audit findings and ensure long-term compliance.
✅ Strengthens Your Brand as a Trusted Testing Partner
Certification positions your lab as ethical, competent, and high-performing.
1. What is GLP Certification?
GLP (Good Laboratory Practice) Certification ensures that a laboratory follows standardized procedures to produce reliable, traceable, and quality test data aligned with national and international guidelines.
2. Who needs GLP Certification?
Pharmaceutical, chemical, environmental, agro, and food testing laboratories that generate data for regulatory submissions or client reporting.orper mattis, pulvinar dapibus leo.
3. Is GLP Certification mandatory?
Yes, for labs submitting safety data to authorities like CDSCO (India), OECD, USFDA, or EMA, GLP compliance is often a mandatory requirement.
4. How long does it take to become GLP certified?
Typically 6 to 12 weeks, depending on the lab’s current practices, documentation status, and facility readiness.
5. How long is the GLP certificate valid?
GLP certificates are usually valid for 3 years, with periodic surveillance audits to ensure continued compliance.
6. What is the difference between GLP and NABL?
GLP ensures regulatory-quality data and ethical lab practices. NABL focuses on technical competence and ISO/IEC 17025-based accreditation. Many labs opt for both.
