SenzaGen has submitted the official validation report for GARDpotency to the relevant regulatory authorities as a complement to the validation of GARDskin.
GARDpotency is the first animal-free allergy test on the market that can be used to evaluate chemicals according to the EU's CLP classification.
Other initiatives to measure potency today, including animal tests, only reach an accuracy of 55%-69%. Therefore, SenzaGen have been able to present the final results of the report showing that the test can classify CLP Class 1A and 1B chemical substances, quantifying the risk of causing allergies with an accuracy of 82 per cent, as determined by three laboratories.
Results from the validation demonstrate that the performance of GARDskin together with GARDpotency exceeds all currently available validated methods. Worldwide approval and recommendation from ECVAM (the EU Reference Laboratory for Alternatives to Animal Testing) and OECD regarding the use of GARDskin and GARDpotency are expected in 2019.
