Good Experimental Practice (GEP) is a quality system that has been used in the European Union since the 1990s to ensure the reliability of field experiments on pesticides used in crop production, also known as plant protection products. The field trials for efficacy evaluation of plant protection products in the European Union must be carried out by GEP-recognised units in order that the results are considered by governmental authorities in the Member States. The evaluation of the trial results and subsequent registration are obligatory in order that plant protection products are placed on the market. The paper presents a brief history of GEP system implementation, as well as an overview of its requirements. The focus of the paper is on the role of GEP system in proper recommendations for the use of plant protection products, which further translates into ensuring environmental safety in the European Union.

Dobra Praktyka Eksperymentalna (GEP) to system zarządzania jakością stosowany w Unii Europejskiej od lat 90-tych XX wieku w celu zapewnienia wiarygodności badań skuteczności pestycydów stosowanych w produkcji roślinnej, znanych również jako środki ochrony roślin. Badania oceny skuteczności środków ochrony roślin w Unii Europejskiej muszą zgodnie z prawem być przeprowadzane na polach doświadczalnych przez jednostki posiadające certyfikat GEP aby ich wyniki mogły być uznane przez organy rządowe w państwach członkowskich. Ocena środków ochrony roślin przez państwa członkowskie i rejestracja są obowiązkowe, przed wprowadzeniem do obrotu handlowego. W artykule przedstawiono skróconą historię wdrażania systemu GEP, a także przegląd jego wymagań. Skupiono się na roli systemu GEP dla formułowania zaleceń stosowania środków ochrony roślin, które mają znaczenie dla bezpieczeństwa środowiska w Unii Europejskiej.
