This webinar introduced the OECD Guidance Document on the Generation, Reporting and Use of Research data for Regulatory Assessments. It aims to enhance the utility and regulatory uptake of research data, focusing on hazard, exposure and risk assessment data generated outside formal regulatory testing frameworks. It promotes harmonised and structured approaches to support the use of scientifically reliable and relevant data in decision-making across jurisdictions and policy areas.
The document is structured around the research data lifecycle, from generation and reporting to identification, evaluation and integration into regulatory assessments. It provides practical considerations and specific recommendations for key stakeholder groups, including funders, researchers, publishers, repository managers, assessors and risk managers. Additional sections of the document offer tools, references, and case studies to support stakeholders in implementing the guidance.
