ICLAS Network for Promotion of Animal Quality in Research

ICLAS ANIMAL QUALITY NETWORK
 

ICLAS has always emphasized international harmonization in respect of the quality of laboratory animals and the ethics of animal experimentation with the overall aim of improving scientific and ethical standards.

To accommodate the growing number of laboratories seeking ICLAS recognition, ICLAS has decided to create a network of laboratories involved in either health monitoring and/or genetics of laboratory animals:

• to promote and maintain the use of high quality animal models worldwide;

• to promote harmonization of guidelines, to facilitate exchange of information and to spread knowledge and awareness of the importance of high quality laboratory animals among the scientific community.
