The importance of GLP is the implementation of GMP detailed in Schedule M cannot be overemphasized. The role of GLP is the development of quality test data, mutual acceptance of data avoids duplication of data, avoids technical barriers to trade and also protection of human health and the environment. The present article highlights important application of GLP in the design of accuracy, precision, reliability etc.
