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.

The list below covers meetings with Commissioners/Cabinet members/Directors-general (high-level) Commission meetings published December 2014 to December 2024, and the meetings of Commissioners/Cabinet members/Directors-general and officials holding "management functions" in the Commission published since 1 January 2025. Other lobby meetings with lower-level staff may well have taken place, but the Commission doesn't proactively publish information about these meetings. All information below comes from the Commission and not from the registrant.

1 July 2024: We have noted that some meetings are appearing in duplicate, ie. some meetings seem to be listed twice. This seems to be because the Commission changes some element of a meeting data after the meeting has first been listed, which causes LobbyFacts to register it as a new meeting. We are investigating further.
