- Government institutes like NSTDA and Chulalongkorn University centers
- Academic research in Chiang Mai and Khon Kaen hubs
How to get GLP Certification in Thailand

Step-by-Step GLP Implementation
1. GLP Gap Assessment
A structured audit against OECD GLP principles to review SOPs, data management systems, equipment calibration, and QA independence. Compliance gaps and risks are identified within 1–2 weeks.
2. Documentation Development
Development of a complete GLP Quality Manual, study plans, raw data templates, and SOPs for deviations and CAPA, fully aligned with Thai FDA expectations.
3. QA Unit Setup
Establishment of an independent Quality Assurance (QA) unit with defined audit authority and direct reporting to top management.
4. Training and Rollout
Role-specific GLP training for management, scientists, technicians, and QA teams. GLP systems are implemented across live studies, including computerized system validation.
5. Internal Audits
Execution of process, study-based, and facility audits, along with mock inspections simulating Thai FDA and sponsor audits.
6. Inspection Readiness
Closure of non-conformities, CAPA implementation, and preparation for sponsor or regulator inspections with continuous compliance monitoring.
GLP Timeline and Costs in Thailand
GLP implementation timelines align with common industry and NSTDA-linked expectations. Costs scale based on laboratory size, number of studies, and existing system maturity. A free GLP gap assessment is recommended for accurate pricing.
| Lab Size | Timeline | Key Factors |
|---|---|---|
| Small Labs | 1–3 months | Basic SOPs and study controls |
| Medium CROs | 2–4 months | QA training and audits |
| Large Facilities | 3–6 months | Full system and validation scope |
Benefits of GLP Compliance
GLP compliance enables Thai FDA submission readiness and ensures OECD Mutual Acceptance of Data (MAD), eliminating duplicate testing and reducing costs. Thai laboratories report 25%+ higher contract win rates, reduced inspection risk, and fully traceable study data supporting biotech exports.
GLP strengthens Thailand’s bioeconomy, supporting TBES-aligned enterprises and improving governance across pharmaceutical and life sciences markets valued at USD 2 billion+.
| Benefit | Impact in Thailand |
|---|---|
| FDA Approval | Direct Thai FDA submissions |
| Global Validity | No duplicate testing under OECD MAD |
| Contract Wins | Higher CRO and sponsor success |
| Risk Reduction | Improved audit outcomes |
GLP vs ISO 17025 – Comparison
| Aspect | GLP | ISO 17025 |
|---|---|---|
| Focus | Study integrity | Testing competence |
| Scope | Non-clinical safety studies | All calibration and testing |
| Proof of Compliance | Regulatory inspections | Accreditation certificate |
| Thai Application | Thai FDA / OECD | General laboratory use |
| Combined Use | Common for CROs | Shared QA systems |
Many laboratories in Thailand implement GLP and ISO 17025 together for comprehensive regulatory and technical credibility.
