The Place of Law in Technology Transitions: A Case Study from Chemical Risk Assessment

Chemical exposure can produce devasting harm to human health and the environment. The EU regulation requires the testing of substances to ascertain whether they exhibit hazards such that appropriate risk management measures must be applied. Traditionally, toxicity testing has involved using animals as a surrogate for humans. Over the years, the EU has adopted a long-standing policy commitment to comply with the 3Rs principle to Replace, Reduce and Refine the use of animals for the purposes of scientific testing with the aim of full replacement.

Webinar- INVITES-IN, a new tool for assessing the internal validity of in vitro studies

This ECHA science seminar features an interdisciplinary project team, Dr Angela Bearth, Dr Gro Haarklou Mathisen and Dr Paul Whaley, all leading experts in their respective fields of applied social psychology, chemical risk assessment, and systematic review and evidence appraisal. They present a tool, INVITES-IN, for assessing the internal validity (reliability) of in vitro studies, with a view to supporting the evaluation and use of such studies in regulatory hazard and risk assessment.
