GLP
Good Laboratory Practice
IRCAD is compliant with good laboratory practice.
IRCAD is internationally recognized as GLP-compliant, enabling the conduct of high-quality preclinical research in accordance with European and international standards (OECD).
The official GLP certificate can be downloaded here
This compliance ensures data quality, reproducibility and integrity of your preclinical research on your medical device under development.
Moreover, this compliance allows the submission application simultaneously to European (EMA) and American authorities (FDA)
Official recognition of Good Laboratory Practice at IRCAD is a source of pride for our teams, not only because it recognizes the work accomplished daily by everyone involved, but also because it enables us to further accelerate medical research by helping companies to bring to fruition the innovations which will improve the patient care of tomorrow.
