In November 2004, the OECD member countries agreed on the principles for validating (Q)SAR models for their use in regulatory assessment of chemical safety. (Q)SARs are methods for estimating the toxicity and other properties of a chemical from its molecular structure. They have been used in regulatory assessment of chemical safety in some OECD countries for many years, but not in others. The agreed principles and associated report from the OECD Expert Group on (Q)SARs will contribute to their enhanced use for more efficient assessment of chemical safety.
