Paragraph 8
Paragraph 8
8. Calls on the Commission to introduce in all relevant EU legislation appropriate testing requirements for the identification of substances with endocrine-disrupting properties; considers that the validated and internationally recognised testing methods that have been developed in (for example) the OECD must be implemented; notes that the OECD programme of testing methods covers sex hormones and thyroid hormones as well as steroidogenesis; points out, on the other hand, that there are no tests for other areas of the endocrine system, e.g. insulin and growth hormones; considers that testing methods and guidance documents should be developed so as to take better account of endocrine disruptors, possible combination and low-dose effects and non- monotonic dose-response relationships;
