The Medical Entomology Unit of the Institute for Medical Research, Kuala Lumpur, is a laboratory that was certified in 2019 to conduct evaluation of vector control products in compliance to the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development principles of good laboratory practice (GLP) laboratory. To ensure the product evaluation practice complies with the GLP principles and corrections are made for improving test procedures, internal inspections by the Quality Assurance team play a crucial role. Before commencing GLP-compliant studies, study plans are developed according to the study objectives and critically examined to ensure they are performed in accordance with the GLP principles. We described the quality of test system, test item and test method used for evaluation of repellent effect of topically applied repellent products in accordance to the GLP test requirements.
