Guidance Document on the Generation, Reporting and Use of Research Data for Regulatory Assessments

As research data plays a growing role in regulatory decision-making, questions around quality, reliability, and relevance are becoming more important than ever. This OECD guidance explores how research data can be generated, reported, and evaluated to better support regulatory assessments across chemicals, health, and environmental policy. It brings together perspectives from researchers, regulators, and institutions to improve transparency, consistency, and trust in scientific evidence. Practical frameworks and real-world case studies illustrate how research data can more effectively inform regulatory outcomes.
