National Good Laboratory Practice Compliance Monitoring Authority (NGCMA)

National Good Laboratory Practice Compliance Monitoring Authority (NGCMA) is a quality system of management controls for research laboratories and organizations to ensure the uniformity, consistency, reliability, reproducibility, quality, and integrity of products in development for human or animal health. A number of countries require manufacturers of chemicals viz. Industrial chemicals, Pharmaceuticals, Agrochemicals, Cosmetics Products, Food/ Feed Additives and Medical devices, etc., to establish through data that use of these chemicals does not pose any hazards to human health and the environment.
