Sinochem Enters the Era of OECD GLP

The Safety Evaluation Center of Shenyang Research Institute of Chemical Industry (SYRICI), subsidiary of Sinochem Group, has passed the GLP (Good Laboratory Practice) certification of Netherlands, a member of the OECD (Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development) and become China’s first safety evaluation institution passing such international certification.

The evaluation data issued by SYRICI will get multilateral approval from OECD members from now on, which indicates China’s international breakthrough in chemical safety evaluation test data in terms of toxicity study, clinical chemical and analysis as well as physical-chemical analysis and is of great significance for the standardization, normalization of China’s safety evaluation tests and the protection of environmental safety and public health.

As a chemical safety evaluation institution subject to the aid from the UNESCO and China’s first institution engaged in the safety evaluation of pesticides, medicines and other fine chemicals, the Safety Evaluation Center of SYRICI, subsidiary of Sinochem Group, was the first to introduce and accept the GLP international management concepts; it has taken the lead in the country in the construction and operation of the GLP system for the safety evaluation of pesticides, medicines and new chemical substances and become China’s safety evaluation institution
