Abstract
"Scientific questions and extensive regulations (laws and decrees; scientific, health-authority and ethical requirements and guidelines) govern the planning, approval and performance of an animal experiment. It is the primary task of the study directors to observe these regulations, and it is the task of the bodies involved in the approval process (e.g. bodies responsible for animal protection, Cantonal Veterinary Office, animal experiment committees, Swiss Federal Veterinary Department), to check the corresponding applications. The individual steps, starting with the planning and continuing up to the conclusion of the animal experiment, follow a regulated process-flow plan. The Ethical Committee for Scientific Animal Experiments of the SANS/SAMS has assumed the task of elucidating this process from the scientific, legal and ethical points of view and to present it in the form of a clearly arranged process-flow diagram, with the aim (a) of making the individual steps of the process and the responsibilities transparent for all interested parties and for all those involved in the animal experiment, and (b) of contributing to the training and further instruction of persons who direct, carry out and assess animal experiments."
