The Physicians Committee Facilitates International Use of Non-animal Test Methods.

The Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine works to replace animal testing on a global scale through our work with the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD). The OECD effectively “harmonizes” international regulations on chemical testing by a process called Mutual Acceptance of Data. This means that OECD member countries are bound by legal contract to accept the methods endorsed by the OECD.
