Abstract |
The study surveys attitudes and policies of representative organizations concerning the issue of alternatives to animal testing. Positions of organizations in the scientific community, the regulatory community, industry, and the animal welfare community are examined within the context of growing pressures to adopt new toxicity testing methodologies. The resulting issues which effect regulatory development are identified. The report has also been prepared as an information resource and guide to the relevant technical literature. Regulatory policy issues concerning the use of alternative toxicity tests are identified and discussed in the report. |
