There needs more clarity in ad hoc Good Laboratory Practice (GLP) certification conferred to test facilities of non‐member economies. There is a similar kind of issue with the ‘GLP status’ of the test data generated by a test facility that has been conferred GLP certification by the country that is only a provisional adherent.
