In India, increasing toxicological awareness and the associated challenges faced by industry have been the key drivers for the implementation of international quality management systems, such as good laboratory practice (GLP), and industry has taken the initiative. Although GLP guidance was formulated in 1983, major progress was not made for a decade because of the lack of mobilization of adequate resources. However, more recently, Indian Government agencies have taken action to ensure that laboratories are able to comply with GLP standards. In the authors' facility, the implementation of GLP was undertaken with the assistance of the parent company and has been highly beneficial.
