Ethics and regulatory compliance
We guide you through compliance with the European and Spanish framework for animal research: project authorizations, support to the welfare body and participation as an external member in ethics committees.
Europe has the strictest regulatory framework for preclinical and academic research. We accompany you every step of the way, from the ethical and legal requirements to processing your project.
We prepare and process the required authorizations, support the animal welfare body and take part as external members in ethics committees, bringing independent judgement to the evaluation of projects in line with the 3Rs principle.
Frequently asked questions
What are Directive 2010/63/EU and Royal Decree 53/2013?
Directive 2010/63/EU governs the protection of animals used for scientific purposes across the European Union, based on the 3Rs principle (replacement, reduction and refinement). Spain transposes it through Royal Decree 53/2013.
These rules set requirements for housing, care, staff training, project evaluation and the operation of the animal welfare body. We help establishments meet them and evidence compliance.
