How Does Regulatory Oversight Enhance Data Reliability?
Regulatory oversight plays a pivotal role in ensuring the reliability of toxicological data. Agencies such as the FDA, EPA, and OECD establish guidelines and standards that researchers must adhere to. These include Good Laboratory Practice (GLP) standards, which mandate proper documentation, data integrity, and ethical conduct in research. Regulatory reviews and approvals provide an additional layer of scrutiny, contributing to the overall reliability of toxicological assessments.
