Singapore and Brazil are the 5th and 6th non-member economies to join the Council Decisions on Mutual Acceptence of Data in the Assessment of Chemicals. The period of provisional adherence, during which time Singapore and Brazil will accept data from OECD member countries and other adhering economies while they establishe their GLP compliance monitoring programme, began in 2007.
This Advisory Document of the Working Group on Good Laboratory Practice was developed in 2003 and 2004 with the assistance of experts in in vitro testing. This area of non-clinical safety testing is especially important in light of animal welfare concerns. The document should be considered together with the OECD Principles of GLP (No. 1 in the series) and the Consensus Document on the Application of the Principles of GLP to Short-Term Studies (No. 7 in the series.)
