Animal experimentation ethics committee and authorised body (CEEA/OH)
In accordance with the provisions of RD 53/2013, of February 1, which establishes the basic applicable standards for the protection of animals used in experimentation and other scientific purposes, including teaching, the competent authorities must authorise the development of a project involving the use of animals. The Consellería do Medio Rural of the Xunta de Galicia has appointed the IDIS Animal Experimentation Ethics Committee as an Authorised Body for the evaluation of projects requested by centers that use experimental animals.
The Authorised Body (CEEA/OH) of the IDIS will review the animal experimentation procedures, prior to the project application process by the competent authority (Consellería do Medio Rural of the Xunta de Galicia).
Meetings of the Animal Experimentation Ethics Committee and Authorised Body (CEEA/OH)
The members of the CEEA/OH will examine and evaluate all the projects that have been entered in the Committee’s registry up to one week before the meeting date, which is held on the 15th of each month (or the business day after this, if it is a weekend). The dates are estimates and may vary depending on the availability of the members of the Commission.
