    PETA Science Consortium International e.V.   (PSCI)

    EU Transparency Register

    484576440734-93 First registered on 18 Dec 2020

    Goals / Remit

    PSCI was established in Germany (Registration Number VR 724927) as a result of the UK’s withdrawal from the EU, in order to carry forward in the EU the work of the UK-based PETA International Science Consortium Ltd. (“PISC”, registered in England and Wales as company number 08312511 and transparency register identification number 83485908659-40). The goals, activities, and structure are essentially the same as those of PISC, as set forth herein. PSCI represents the interests of its members and their individual supporters. PSCI co-ordinates its own and its members' scientific and regulatory expertise to promote reliable and relevant strategies to reduce and replace the use of animals in experiments. Building on the previous work of PISC at the EU level, PSCI provides technical support to companies and researchers seeking to replace, reduce, or refine the use of animal tests, and advises its members with regard to providing financial support to companies to achieve this goal.

    Communication activities

    In addition to assisting research organisations and private industries in the development of best practices, PSCI has taken over PISC’s interactions with national and international regulatory bodies and standards organisations in the EU to ensure that opportunities exist to increase and harmonise the use of validated non-animal test methods. PSCI engages with a number of regulatory bodies, including but not limited to the European Chemicals Agency (ECHA) and the European Union Reference Laboratory for alternatives to animal testing (EURL ECVAM) Stakeholder Forum (ESTAF). This engagement involves, for example, participation in expert working groups, submission of comments on regulatory initiatives and direct communication as appropriate.

    An area of primary concern is the REACH (Registration, Evaluation, Authorisation and Restriction of Chemical Substances) regulation. This on-going extensive project includes working with ECHA and the European Commission regarding the use of animals as a last resort, and liaising with companies to ensure they implement validated non-animal methods.

    PSCI works to minimise animal testing conducted to meet data requirements included in the biocides and plant protection products regulations.

    A significant objective is to influence international testing guidelines which determine the number of animals and the exact nature of the procedures to be used in globally standardised toxicity tests. PSCI works extensively on these guidelines through the International Council on Protection of Animals in Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) Programmes (ICAPO), and seeks to ensure the best possible science and animal welfare (using reduction and refinement strategies) and the widest possible integration of alternatives to in vivo test methods in OECD guidelines and programmes. This work is critical to ensuring that the OECD's international test standards for human health and ecological safety use non-animal methods and approaches. When working on behalf of ICAPO, PSCI scientists represent animal protection organisations from North America, Europe, Japan and India.

    PSCI and its members submit detailed scientific comments on a wide range of new test guidelines or those undergoing revision, thus influencing the development and validation of test guidelines from an early stage.

    PSCI ensures that information regarding the use of non-animal tests is accessible to all audiences by publishing technical briefs and articles in peer-reviewed journals, hosting webinars and workshops and by presenting at scientific, administrative and legislative conferences.

    In cases where promising in vitro techniques require additional development or validation in order to gain regulatory acceptance, PSCI advises its members to assist in providing funding.

    PSCI also organises training sessions to help scientists become more proficient with in vitro and in silico methods.
