Good Laboratory Practice (GLP) principles:

Fundamental rules incorporated in OECD guidelines and national regulations concerned with the process of effective organization and the conditions under which laboratory studies are properly planned, performed, monitored, recorded, and reported. [Source: IUPAC]
