Guidance on Grouping of Chemicals
This guidance document is part of the OECD effort to provide guidance for assessing
the hazards of chemical substances while gaining efficiencies and improving animal
welfare. The approach described in this guidance document is to consider closely related
chemicals as a group, or category, rather than as individual chemicals. In the category
approach, not every chemical needs to be tested for every endpoint. Rather, the overall
data for that category must prove adequate to support a hazard assessment. The overall
data set must allow the estimation of the hazard for the untested endpoints.
