AGENDA (English)
AGENDA (Korean)
This online event focused on the current uses, potential applications, and future perspective of the Integrated Approaches to Testing and Assessment (IATA). The event will feature presentations from South Korean regulatory bodies, industry and universities, together with a leading representative of the global consumer goods industry.
IATAs are targeted and efficient testing strategies for chemical hazard or risk characterization, which follow an iterative and integrative approach to answer a defined question with the required certainty in a specific regulatory context. Different types of information from existing sources, new testing (e.g., in chemico, in vitro, and in vivo), and non-testing (e.g., in silico), can be considered as needed, and evaluated using Weight of Evidence in an iterative process. Hypothesis formation, testing strategy, data weighing and integration can also be supported by Adverse Outcome Pathways (AOPs), which are expected to provide insight into the biological relevance, reliability and uncertainties associated with the results from the different test methods for regulatory use. Development and application of AOP-informed IATA represent the current state-of-the-art for evaluating and generating information to meet different regulatory purposes, shifting from traditional toxicity testing in animals to a more tailored, thoughtful and predictive approach, which takes into account mechanistic data at various levels of biological organization.
