Echa�s report shows that using alternatives to measure chemical toxicity instead of testing on animals is growing.
The 38,000 dossiers that served as a basis for the study come from the 2010 and 2013 registrations. It shows that the mandatory data sharing has been respected for the most part and that read-across approaches as well as in vitro studies have been much more implemented, which has resulted in a decrease of animal testing. This complies with REACH�s ambition to have �a balance between the need of information to increase our un�derstanding of the hazards of chemical substances, and the aim of avoiding un-necessary testing on animals in gener�ating such information�. This trend can be particularly noticed in Vietnam, where the Cruelty Free International organisation has joined forces with the country�s Health Ministry to train personnel to in vitro testing methods. This action follows the government�s decision to phase out animal tests (learn more).
