OECD Guidelines for the Testing of Chemicals (OECD TG) are a set of internationally accepted specifications for the testing of chemicals decided on by the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD).
Sometimes guidelines are suffixed with a letter.
Previous guidelines are maintained on the website for reference purposes.
Animal welfare concerns are dealt with by ensuring that animal tests are only permitted where necessary.
The guidelines are available in both English and French.
