The National Certification and Accreditation Administration granted a certificate of reliable laboratory to the Chemicals Safety Evaluation Center of the Ningbo Quarantine and Inspection Bureau, which made it Zhejiang's first GLP lab. From now on, chemical companies of Ningbo can apply for the safety assessment report in Ningbo, which is mutually recognized with EU Chemicals Agency. It will save time and costs and break through some technical barriers.

ยท GLP is short for Good Laboratory Practice, which is laboratory standards for safety evaluation of medicines, pesticides, food additives, cosmetics, veterinary drugs,etc. According to REACH regulations of the EU effective on June 1, 2008, all chemicals entering EU markets must get registered with the GLP safety evaluation data.
