OECD Tests

The OECD Library is the online library of the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) books, articles and statistics, and is the knowledge base of its analysis and data.

The OECD assists countries in developing and implementing policies and tools that make their systems as efficient and reliable as possible to manage harmful chemicals, while protecting human health and the environment.

The aim of the OECD is to make the world of the future more livable. It works with government agencies, non-governmental organizations and people to establish evidence-based international standards and find solutions to a variety of social, economic and environmental challenges.

The organization's key key areas of work on hazardous chemicals are:

• Testing guidelines
• good laboratory practices
• Mutual acceptance of data
• Hazard assessment
• Exposure assessment
• Risk management of chemicals
• Safety of produced nanomaterials
• pesticides
• biocides
• Chemical accident prevention and response
• Pollutant release and transfer registration
• Best techniques to prevent and control industrial pollution
• Safety of products derived from modern biotechnology
• Cooperation and sound management in the development of chemicals
• Tools to support the management of chemicals

OECD guidelines for testing chemicals include internationally accepted test methods used by government agencies, industry and independent laboratories to assess the safety of chemicals. These methods are used in both regulatory safety testing andIt is used in my legal notification and registration processes. Test guidelines are regularly updated according to developments in science and technology and the needs of countries.

A number of publications on the testing and evaluation of chemicals support the development of OECD testing guidelines. These publications mainly include:

• Publications on testing and evaluation
• Testing for endocrine disruptors
• Workshop reports and meeting reports
• Environmental fate test
• Cooperative chemicals reviews
• Emissions and exposure
• Ecotoxicity test
• Non-test methods
• Performance standards
• Tests for human health
• Classification and labeling
• Other (such as pesticide residue chemistry and biocide activity)

Our organization also provides OECD testing services with its trained and expert staff and advanced technological equipment, among the numerous test, measurement, analysis and evaluation studies it provides for businesses in various sectors.
