The workshop on Alternative Methods for Skin Sensitisation Testing was held in Angera, Italy, on 24-28 April 1995, under the co-chairmanship of Odile de Silva (L'Oreal, Aulnay-sous-Bois, France) and David Basketter (Unilever Environmental Safety Laboratory, Bedford, UK). The objective of the workshop was to prepare a state-of-the-art review on non-animal methods for skin sensitisation testing, and to formulate recommendations for making progress toward the total replacement of the current animal tests.
