Abstract
The specific test methods used in toxicology classically include tests for reproductive toxicity, genotoxicity, and carcinogenicity. There are now also other test methods such as testing for possible immunotoxic or neurotoxic properties of a substance. Special, usually internationally applicable, test guidelines form the regulatory basis for the test methods, which apply to chemicals, crop protection products, and medicinal products.
