About This Checklist
Maintaining appropriate facility conditions and environmental controls is essential for ensuring the integrity of research conducted under Good Laboratory Practice (GLP) standards in the pharmaceutical industry. This GLP Facility and Environmental Conditions Audit Checklist is designed to help facility managers, quality assurance personnel, and environmental monitoring specialists evaluate and improve the physical infrastructure and environmental parameters critical to GLP compliance. By implementing this checklist, pharmaceutical organizations can ensure their research environments meet regulatory requirements, minimize external variables that could impact study results, and maintain the highest standards of research quality and data integrity.

The checklist covers areas such as facility design and layout, air quality and ventilation systems, temperature and humidity control, lighting conditions, pest control measures, cleaning and sanitation procedures, and environmental monitoring systems.
Comprehensive audits should be conducted at least annually, with more frequent monitoring of critical parameters (e.g., temperature, humidity) on a daily or weekly basis as part of routine operations.
The audit should involve a team including facility managers, quality assurance personnel, environmental monitoring specialists, and representatives from relevant research departments to ensure a thorough assessment.
By ensuring optimal facility conditions and environmental controls, this checklist helps maintain a stable and controlled research environment, reducing variables that could impact study results and enhancing the overall reliability of GLP studies.
Yes, while maintaining core GLP principles, the checklist can be tailored to address specific requirements for different types of research facilities, such as animal testing facilities, analytical laboratories, or stability testing chambers.
