Joint Research Centre's Mission " As the science and knowledge service of the Commission our mission is to support EU policies with independent evidence throughout the whole policy cycle "
EURL ECVAM Established under Directive 2010/63/EU on the protection of animals used for scientific purposes • Integrating testing strategies/developing new risk assessment paradigms (avoiding use of animals) • Validation of testing approaches • Dissemination and application: • Facilitating stakeholder dialogue • International promotion and regulatory acceptance (e.g.OECD)
JRC Activities on Endocrine Disrupters • Scientific criteria for the identification of endocrine disrupting substances
Priorities for new testing approaches • Workshop on setting priorities for further development and validation of test methods and testing approaches for evaluating endocrine disruptors – May 2017 • https://publications.europa.eu/en/publication-detail/-/publication/6b464845-4833-11e8-be1d-01aa75ed71a1/language-en/format-PDF/source-search • Draft Detailed Review Paper on the retinoid system • Workshop on thyroid disruption – March 2017 • https://publications.europa.eu/en/publication-detail/-/publication/472d2c88-a8b1-11e7-837e-01aa75ed71a1/language-en/format-PDF/source-search • Temporal aspects in the testing of chemicals for endocrine disrupting effects (in relation to human health and the environment) – Jan 2018 • https://publications.europa.eu/en/publication-detail/-/publication/58430e34-f4ef-11e7-be11-01aa75ed71a1/language-en https://publications.europa.eu/en/publication-detail/-/publication/1c678970-3aad-11e7-a08e-01aa75ed71a1/language-en/format-PDF/source-search
Priorities for new testing approaches • Development of a study protocol for thyroid disruptor testing in the mammalian system • Horizon 2020 -
EU NETVAL Validation Study • EURL ECVAM: validation study to assess in vitro methods for the detection of thyroid disrupters • 17 methods investigated by 14 laboratories of the EU-NETVAL (European Union Network of Laboratories for the Validation of Alternative Methods) https://ec.europa.eu/jrc/en/science-update/vitro-methods-detection-thyroid-disruptors
