Good Laboratory Practice (GLP)

Hazardous Chemicals Test (based on GLP) K-eco undertakes the ecological (environmental) toxicity test pursuant to the international standards (OECD GLP) to evaluate the effect that the hazardous chemical substances and agrichemicals have on the aquatic creatures.

GLP(Good Laboratory Practice: Principles of Good Laboratory Practice)

To assure the credibility of the numerous non-clinical tests which are executed for the safety evaluation on the hazardous chemical substances, medical supplies, cosmetic goods and agrochemicals, the GLP is used as the practice that manages the matters regarding the entire process of the tests including the research personnel, testing facilities/equipment and methods in an organized and systematic manner.
