Why Should You Attend

In 2016, the US Food and Drug Administration proposed basic and wide-ranging changes to its Good Laboratory Practices. This has been published in the Federal Registry: Volume 81 Number 164. The roles of managers, supervisors, and staff are modified and assigned responsibilities are described. The requirements on organizations outside of the laboratory (facilities, sampling, purchasing, training, hiring, and so on) are made inclusive and required for compliance. Recordkeeping and documentation criteria and requirements are described. All of these changes create a very different system from the uppermost level of management downward in the organization chart.
