The European Commission’s roadmap to phase out animal testing in chemical safety assessments will outline milestones and specific actions to phase out animal testing in such assessments. With the roadmap, the Commission will follow up on the commitment it made in a recent communication in reply to the European Citizens’ Initiative ‘Save Cruelty-free Cosmetics – Commit to a Europe without Animal Testing'.

The Commission is now calling for feedback. The feedback period runs until October 15, 2024.
