HomeAlternative approaches can reduce the use of test animals under REACH addendum to the report “Assessment of additional testing needs under REACH
Effects of (Q)SARS, risk based testing and voluntary industry initiatives”
Publication metadata
In September 2003 a report was published on the impact of the REACH system on the need for further testing taking into account already existing obligations and voluntary initiatives and applying certain assumptions regarding the use of estimation techniques such as grouping of chemicals, read-across, (Quantitative) Structure-Activity Relationships ((Q)SAR) and the outcome of screening tests and risk assessments (Pedersen et al. 2003). The report was based on the interim version of the REACH Consultation Document of May 2003 and did not address the number of test animals needed for the testing. The present document is an addendum to the previous report and specifically aims at identifying the potential savings of vertebrate test animals that can be obtained through application of these alternative approaches. It is based on the revised commission proposal of 29 October 2003. Moreover an update of the cost estimates presented in Pedersen et al. (2003) is included.
