GLP Accreditation
The OECD Principles of Good Laboratory Practice (GLP) establish the requirements implemented by us as Test Facility to conduct preclinical research and are audited by IANZ to gain GLP accreditation.
IANZ (Internation Accreditation New Zealand) is part of a carefully designed system of standards and conformance implemented by the New Zealand Government to protect the health and wealth of New Zealand. It ensures that the companies which test or inspect the products and services we buy, consume, or use every day, are safe, accurate and aren’t harming us.
ERL was accredited New Zealand’s very first GLP certification in 1997 which is administered in NZ only by IANZ and we have maintained this accreditation ever since. With bi-annual re-inspection audits we can proudly say we are the longest-standing most experienced GLP-compliant CRO in New Zealand.
The OECD Principles of Good Laboratory Practice are applied to those non-clinical health and environmental safety studies that are required by regulations in NZ and Internationally for the purpose of registering or licensing pharmaceuticals, pesticides, food and feed additives, cosmetic products, veterinary drug products and similar products, and for the regulation of industrial chemicals and manufactured nano materials. In many economies around the world, it is a legal requirement that such studies, when submitted as part of the dossiers for the pre-market approval of products, must have been conducted under Good Laboratory Practice (GLP).

Our internal Quality Assurance unit conducts program and facility-based audits along with raw data, scientific methodology, systems, SOPs, data handling, reporting and archiving audits, guaranteeing your studies meet international requirements for product registration.
