1 1 Workshop on CEFIC LRI Project EEM9.4 LRI AMBIT with IUCLID6 support and extended search capabilities Assessment Workflows for Read Across and Substance Category Formation

2 2 Overview General aspects on non-testing approaches Guidance elements of the analogue approach / category formation workflow Practical example from the past AMBIT elements of the analogue approach / category formation workflow

3 3 General aspects on non-testing approaches General aspects on non-testing approaches Guidance elements of the analogue approach / category formation workflow Practical example from the past AMBIT elements of the analogue approach / category formation workflow

4 4 General aspects on non-testing approaches REACH Article Information on intrinsic properties of substances may be generated by means other than tests, toxicity, information shall be generated whenever possible by means other than vertebrate animal tests alternative methods, for example from information from structurally related substances (grouping or readacross). Article In order to avoid animal testing, testing on vertebrate animals for the purposes of this Regulation shall be undertaken only as a last resort.

5 5 General aspects on non-testing approaches Options that registrants use to cover REACH information requirements for different data endpoints Extract from The use of alternatives to testing on animals for the REACH Regulation Third Report under Article 117(3) of the REACH Regulation
