Introduction - Contents - Glossary

Nonclinical laboratory studies are experiments in which test articles (food additives, color additives, drug or biological products, electronic products, medical devices for human use) are studied in test systems (animals, plants, microorganisms, or subparts thereof) under laboratory conditions to determine their safety.

The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) regulates the conduct of nonclinical laboratory studies under Part 58 (Good Laboratory Practice for Nonclinical Laboratory Studies) of Title 21 of the Code of Federal Regulations. FDA inspects facilities that conduct nonclinical laboratory studies to determine the facilities compliance with part 58.

The following is a list of the testing facilities that have been inspected since October 1, 1989. The list provides the current name and former (if known) names of the testing facility, the dates the facility has been inspected, and the classification of the inspection results (see description below). The list is updated quarterly.

The inspection dates may not be in chronological order because the inspection assignments are issued on a quarterly basis and reports may not have been entered in chronological order.
