ECHA improves transparency of dossier evaluation

REACH requires that new testing of a substance involving vertebrate animals should only be carried out as a last resort. To ensure that the best use has been made of existing information REACH obliges ECHA to take account of scientifically valid information received from third parties when preparing its decision on a testing proposal.

This information will be published after the adoption of the final testing proposal decision.
