Member countries are beginning to share experiences on using integrated approaches to fulfil information requirements for testing and assessment in different regulatory frameworks. A Focus Session held during the 39th Joint Meeting of the Chemicals Committee and Working Party on Chemicals, Pestcides and Biotechnology gave an overview of practical experiences with specific innovative approaches being used in member countries and provided an opportunity to discuss the need for paradigm shifts to make the best use of information available to determine testing, assessment and management needs.

OECD adopts “Harmonised Templates” for reporting Test Study summaries
01-Mar-2006
OECD has adopted 86 harmonised templates for reporting summary information of the results from chemical testing. These templates, which have been prepared for database developers, prescribe the format by which results should be entered into and maintained in databases so that the data can easily be exchanged electronically across countries

Toxicogenomics refers to newly developed methods to detect changes in the activities of genes and other molecular-level responses for the assessment of human and environmental safety of chemicals. The OECD, with the International Programme on Chemical Safety, held a workshop on toxicogenomics in Kyoto, on 13-15 Oct 2004. The 56 experts that attended the workshop called for co-ordinated international activities for advancing the research in this field and exploring the use of this technology for the safety of chemicals. The Workshop Report can be found at the above link.

OECD countries agree to a ten-year vision for the harmonisation of regulatory approaches for agricultural pesticides (chemical and biological) to facilitate and promote the sharing of work between regulatory authorities. The highlight of this “Vision” is that by 2014, OECD countries will routinely accept dossiers prepared by stakeholders in the OECD format; will routinely exchange "monographs" containing reviews of the data submitted; and will use OECD "monographs" as a basis for independent risk assessments and regulatory decisions for new and existing pesticides.
