Good Laboratory Practices (GLP)
The Good Laboratory Practices were enacted as law in 1978 to ensure that all data submitted to federal regulatory agencies is performed safely and reliably. The GLPs were introduced to assure that a study is conducted by qualified personnel working in well-maintained facilities with appropriate materials and calibrated equipment, using properly designed experiments recorded with clear and complete detailed documentation, overseen by an independent Quality Assurance Unit, and safely archived for audit/inspection by regulatory agents.

EPA GLP
EPA Good Laboratory Practices (GLP) ensures the quality and integrity of test data submitted to the Environmental Protection Agency. The EPA writes regulations, provides guidance, reviews submitted data, inspects for compliance, registers toxic materials, and enforces legal action for violations.

FDA GLP
FDA GLP prescribes good laboratory practices for conducting nonclinical laboratory studies that support or are intended to support applications for research or marketing permits for products regulated by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). This program supports customers requesting a GLP assessment, as FDA does not provide a certificate of compliance.

At iAIR Labs, we pride ourselves on adhering to the highest standards of regulatory compliance. All our testing services are conducted in strict accordance with FDA and EPA guidelines and cGLP (current Good Laboratory Practice) regulations, ensuring our clients receive results that are both reliable and recognized by regulatory bodies.
