Archives establishment and management have played a very important role in non-clinical drug safety evaluation and
any scientific research programe. Through literature review, we found that there is few literature review about GLP institutions archives
management, when it comes to the systematic and comprehensive comparison on the establishment and management between GLP
archives and scientific research archives, the relevant article is zero. This article comprehensively reviews relevant provisions and
experience of archive management from 3 aspects of hardware facilities, archive practices and the problems we should pay attention to.

conform to the GLP development needs of the new era, we should discuss with colleagues how to further perfect the GLP archives
management, to ensure the accuracy, clarity, reliability and traceability of the documents, and to improve the GLP organization's overall
