Abstract

The eye irritancy test in rabbits (Draize test) is currently the method used to evaluate the hazard or safety of chemical substances. To reduce the need for animal testing some new procedures as alternative were elaborated. We present a review of method used as well as evaluation of sensitivity and repeatability of alternative tests applied in laboratories of European Economic Communities.
