Non-technical summaries of projects granted under ASPA
Brings together the annual lists of non-technical summaries that describe the projects granted under the Animals (Scientific Procedures) Act 1986 (ASPA).
The publication of non-technical summaries is a legal requirement under the Animals (Scientific Procedures) Act 1986 (ASPA).
They are a statement, in non-technical language, of the proposed programme of work and state the objectives, predicted harm, benefits of the programme and the number and types of animals to be used in the programme. They also demonstrate that the proposed programme of work will be carried out in compliance with the principles of replacement, reduction and refinement.
Below you will find non-technical summaries of project granted by the Animals in Science Regulation Unit (ASRU) including those that should be retrospectively assessed.
Details of project licences granted under ASPA in 2010 to 2012 are available on The National Archives.
