OSIRIS - Optimized Strategies for Risk Assessment of Industrial Chemicals through Integration of Non-test and Test-Information
Download and print viewIntegrated EU-Project
Brief description
Objectives of the project
The goal of the project OSIRIS is to develop integrated testing
strategies (ITS) fit for REACH that enable to significantly increase the
use of non-testing information for regulatory decision making, and thus
minimise the need for animal testing. It is the task of DIALOGIK to
explore the acceptance of these ITS by different stakeholder groups (regulators,
industry, members of society). In addition, DIALOGIK will prepare
suggestions on how to integrate these inputs from stakeholders in the
testing strategies as well as design the targeted risk communication
programs (discourse – concept). Several workshops with relevant
stakeholder groups will be conducted.
