Increased Transparency in Chemical Testing and Animal Alternatives.
New regulations enhance transparency in federal chemical testing by requiring detailed reports on animal use and progress in alternative methods. This gives citizens better insight into how agencies approach animal testing and whether they are seeking more humane solutions. The act aims to promote ethical and modern testing methods, which can impact product safety and animal welfare.
Key points
