Several laboratories in Corporate Analytics have the authorization to perform analyses according to the guidelines of Good Laboratory Practice ‏(GLP) pursuant to the requirements of the Chemicals Act ‏(ChemG). Tests under GLP conditions provide the formal framework for investigations associated for instance with registration of substances and mixtures or REACH EU chemicals regulations. They are required by law in order to ensure environment and consumer protection.
