The Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) has promoted Good Laboratory Practice (GLP) since the mid 1970s. This paper describes the development of the concept through international harmonisation, Quality Assurance (QA), and compliance monitoring. Ultimately this process permits Mutual Acceptance of Data (MAD). An important aspect of the OECD's programme is the promotion of related training and information exchange.
