Claim: Section 3 of the OECD Guidelines for the Testing of Chemicals, a set of internationally accepted specifications for the testing of chemicals decided on by the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD), contains 19 guidelines on Environmental Fate and Behaviour.
Evidence: OECD Guidelines for the Testing of Chemicals are a set of internationally accepted specifications for the testing of chemicals decided on by the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD).
