A toxicological dossier must be presented to the competent authority before marketing a new chemical, in order to start the authorisation, classification and labelling process. Regulatory tests have to be carried out by following the standard methods described in the OECD (Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development) Test Guidelines (TGs). Their application in good laboratory practice certified centres guarantees the production of harmonised quality data, which is the basis for the mutual acceptance of data within OECD Member States. The TGs periodical revision recently resulted in the adoption of new TGs (n. 420, 423, 425) for the oral acute toxicity testing, replacing the old TG 401, which is now in its phase out period. This volume collects some of the presentations illustrating the international and Italian OECD activity as well as the new TGs.
Key words: Chemical testing, Guidelines, OECD, Acute toxicity, Regulatory toxicology
