OECD works with member countries and other stakeholders to cooperatively assess the hazards of industrial chemicals to generate OECD-agreed assessments that are available to the public and that can be used for priority setting, risk assessment and other activities within national or regional programmes. Further, this cooperative work allows member countries and the chemical industry to share the burden of evaluating chemicals and avoid duplication, which in turn increases efficiencies, decreases costs and minimizes the need for animal testing. As part of this work, member countries work together to improve and harmonize chemical assessment methods using the most current science, including integrated approaches to testing and assessment as well as (quantitative) structure activity relationships, or (Q)SARs.
