Aims
Promote scientific and regulatory acceptance of non-animal tests which are of importance to biomedical sciences through research, test development and validation and the establishment of a specialized database service; coordinate at European level independent evaluation of the relevance and reliability of tests for specific purposes, so that chemicals and products of various kinds, including medicines, vaccines, medical devices, cosmetics, household products and agricultural products, can be manufactured, transported and used more economically and more safely, while the current reliance on animal test procedures is progressively reduced.
