(1)

Purpose: To determine whether the laboratory is of suitable size, construction, design and location to meet the demands of the studies being undertaken.

(2)

The inspector should check that—

  • the design enables an adequate degree of separation so that, e.g. test substances, animals, diets, pathological specimens etc., of one study cannot be confused with those of another,

  • environmental control and monitoring procedures exist and function adequately in critical areas, e.g. animal and other biological test systems rooms, test substance storage areas and laboratory areas,

  • the general housekeeping is adequate for the various facilities and that there are, if necessary, pest control procedures.
