OECD Guidelines for the Testing of Chemicals

The OECD Guidelines for the Testing of Chemicals are a set of internationally recognized procedures designed to evaluate the safety and effects of chemicals. They provide standardized methods to determine how chemicals impact health, the environment, and living organisms. These guidelines help ensure consistent, reliable testing across countries, supporting regulatory decisions, safe product development, and protection of humans and ecosystems. They cover various tests, including toxicity, environmental persistence, and biodegradability, to promote responsible and informed management of chemical substances worldwide.
