GLP SOPs for Equipment Calibration and Maintenance. Part 1: an overview

Abstract

Writing Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) for laboratory equipment is viewed as a necessary evil. As a result, many of these documents are not practical or useful to a reader. Writing these documents does not have to be so frustrating. With forethought, careful planning and collaboration, laboratory SOPs can be practical and user-friendly documents that support continued compliance and create a platform for future growth.
