These documents were submitted to OECD and will be the subject of further scrutiny by their expert group with the aim to have the draft test guideline adopted into the OECD test guideline system. <strong>The first meeting on the draft guideline is to be held in October and Pepper is looking forward to this interaction to help improve the draft guideline and to gain experience with this part of the OECD process.<\/strong> Pepper has this year submitted a second Validation report for review (see New Validation report section) and will regularly do so as more validation projects are finalized

Also, the concordance with expected results on the chemicals was strong.

The report has since undergone peer review which led to updating of the report, answering of the raised questions and suggestions and to the drafting of a test guideline based the method procedure. These documents were submitted to OECD and will be the subject of further scrutiny by their expert group with the aim to have the draft test guideline adopted into the OECD test guideline system. <strong>The first meeting on the draft guideline is to be held in October and Pepper is looking forward to this interaction to help improve the draft guideline and to gain experience with this part of the OECD process.<\/strong> Pepper has this year submitted a second Validation report for review (see New Validation report section) and will regularly do so as more validation projects are finalized
