By Global Farmer Network< 1 minute

Video comes via CropLife International - May 3, 2019:
Guidelines on gathering and analyzing safety data have been set by the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD), an international, intergovernmental organization.
The OECD has established Principles of Good Laboratory Practice (GLP), a management system which ensures the uniformity, reproducibility and integrity of laboratory studies around the world.
These guidelines are adopted and written into national laws, where any transgressions can lead to criminal prosecution.
Apart from pesticides and GMOs, GLP is a practice used to assess the safety of a wide number of common chemical products including pharmaceuticals, cosmetics and food additives.
