Mumbai, November 15, 2022: Clariant India, a focused, sustainable, and innovative specialty chemical company, highlighted the need for ethical, data based and technologically led toxicological testing at its one day industry workshop titled, ‘Navigating headwinds in Regulatory Toxicology’. The event was being held in Mumbai with attendance several CROs across industries.
The industry event sought to support Indian CROs in their progress in the fast developing toxicology sector. The major themes that emerged from the discussion were alternative methodologies to animal testing, chemical strategies for sustainability - toxic free environment, and new approaches (NAM) in toxicology in the challenging framework the Indian sector navigates through.
The industry event saw Clariant global experts and various Indian industry leaders like Dr. Nitin Shetty of Bioneeds India, Dr. Ganiger from Eurofins Advinus and Dr. Mohmad Sadik A. Mulla from Vimta Labs among the speaker list.
Chemical safety and sustainability as themes are gaining ground in global chemical industry. The need to ensure proper product safety testing and maintain and respect animal and environmental welfare are both issues of great societal and ethical concern and subject to regulation and mandatory obligations. With inclusion of India as a full-member for Mutual Acceptance of Data (MAD) in the OECD's (Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development) Working Group on GLP, it provides immense opportunities for data from Indian GLP (Good Laboratory Practices). There are opportunities for India to define its role in validating and implementing NAM (New Approach Methodologies) by aligning itself to global trends, e.g. in developing alternatives to animal testing. Clariant India’s industry conclave is a contribution in the direction to pivot towards chemical safety using sound, modern and ethical scientific methods for chemicals evaluation.
Speaking on the occasion Dr. Fabian Grimm, Head of Toxicology and Ecotoxicology, Global Product Leadership Clariant said, “Today it is not chemical safety alone being a pre-requisite for product compliance, marketability, customer satisfaction but it is safety and sustainability of our products. One of the major challenges is in creating a gradual shift towards animal-free test systems and approaches – collectively known as ‘New Approach Methods’ or NAMS. Through workshops like this, Clariant as a global leader, engages in multi stakeholder dialogues to actively contribute towards further development and implementation of such alternative approaches.”
Clariant is fully committed to its 3R principles, i.e. reduction, refinement and replacement of animal testing in toxicological research and to supporting the development and use of NAMs to evaluate the potential effects of chemicals on human health and the environment without the need to use animals.
