Section I INTRODUCTION Preface and industry are concerned about the quality of non-clinical health environmental safety studies upon which hazard assessments are based. As a OECD Member countries have established criteria for the performance different schemes of implementation that could impede international chemicals, OECD Member countries have pursued international test methods and Good Laboratory Practice. In 1979 and 1980 an group of experts, established under the special programme on the chemicals, developed the ‘OECD principles of Good Laboratory Practice’ Laboratory Practice), utilising common managerial and scientific practices from various national and international sources. These principles of Practice were adopted by the OECD Council in 1981, as an Annex Decision on the mutual acceptance of data in the assessment of [C(81)30(Final)].

1996, a new group of experts was formed to revise and update the current document is the result of the consensus reached by that and replaces the original principles adopted in 1981. of these principles of Good Laboratory Practice is to promote the quality test data. Comparable quality of test data forms the basis for acceptance of data among countries. If individual countries can on test data developed in other countries, duplicative testing can be saving time and resources. The application of these principles avoid the creation of technical barriers to trade, and further improve human health and the environment.
