The FD&C Act and related statutes
require manufacturers of human drugs and biological products,
animal drugs, medical devices, and food additives to demonstrate
the safety and utility of their product by submitting applications
to the FDA for research or marketing permits. Such applications
contain, among other important items, full reports of all studies
done to demonstrate product safety in man and/or other animals. In
order to ensure adequate quality control for these studies and to
provide an adequate degree of consumer protection, the Agency
promulgated the GLP regulations.
