READ-ACROSS IN CHEMICAL SAFETY ASSESSMENT
READ-ACROSS IN CHEMICAL SAFETY ASSESSMENT
Leveraging existing knowledge
The use of existing information to “read-across” to uncharacterized chemicals is a well-established concept in regulatory science and a powerful tool for minimizing new animal testing. In spite of strong science, barriers remain to regulatory uptake. This project is designed to address those barriers.
About read-across
Chemical read-across is a non-testing approach for hazard assessment, widely used for regulatory purposes.
Promoting regulatory acceptance
We’re working with different stakeholders towards tackling barriers to regulatory uptake of chemical read-across.
