OECD Guidelines for Testing of Chemicals

The OECD Guidelines for Testing of Chemicals are internationally recognized procedures that ensure the safe and scientific evaluation of the effects of chemicals on health and the environment. They provide standardized tests for assessing toxicity, environmental impact, and other risks. These guidelines help regulators, manufacturers, and researchers determine whether chemicals are safe to use, handle, and dispose of, promoting consistent and reliable safety data worldwide. They support informed decision-making to protect people and ecosystems while facilitating innovation and trade.
