Certificate in accordance with Section 19b of the Act on Protection against Hazardous Substances (ChemG)
"Good laboratory practice" is a quality assurance system that deals with the organisational procedure and the framework conditions under which non-clinical health and environmental safety tests, the results of which are intended to enable a risk assessment in an official procedure, are planned, carried out and monitored. It also includes the recording, archiving and reporting of the test
As a test facility or test site, you can apply for a certificate of compliance with the principles of good laboratory practice. You will receive this certificate after carrying out a so-called inspection procedure and fulfilling the specified requirements.
The extensive requirements can be found in Annex 1 of the Act on Protection against Hazardous Substances (ChemG).

For the issue of a GLP certificate
- the tests to be performed must be tests subject to GLP according to § 19 a ChemG or a legitimate interest must be substantiated.
- the test facility or test site and the tests or phases of tests performed there must comply with the principles of good laboratory practice according to Annex I ChemG.
Note: A legitimate interest exists, for example, if a GLP certificate is required for exportable products, although there is no obligation to test in accordance with Section 19 a (1) ChemG.
The body that issues the certificate checks the application documents and initiates the inspection procedure. It selects the GLP inspectors to carry out the inspection and determines the inspection management.
- The inspection is carried out in accordance with the guidelines of the General Administrative Regulation on Good Laboratory Practice (more precisely: ChemVwV-GLP).
- The inspection ends with the presentation of a short report (list of defects) at the final meeting.
- If necessary, further documents will be requested prior to the inspection.
- In the case of an initial inspection, a pre-inspection is usually carried out; in the case of repeat inspections, this is determined on a case-by-case basis.
- The inspection procedure is concluded with an inspection report. This describes the extent to which a test facility/test site complies with the GLP principles and from which test categories tests are carried out in accordance with the GLP principles.
- If all requirements are met after completion of the inspection procedure, the competent body issues the GLP certificate.
Note: If you have any questions about the inspection procedure, you can contact the body responsible for issuing the GLP certificate.
Once the inspection procedure has been completed, a decision on the application for a GLP certificate will be made within three months.
