AREC APPROVAL REQUIRED FOR RESEARCH ON ALL ANIMAL GROUPS
Print

Dear Staff and Students

The SOUTH AFRICAN NATIONAL STANDARD for animal research has been updated to the current version (SANS10386:2021) and provides guidelines for the care and use of animals for scientific purposes. 

 

Section 1.3 of SANS10386:2021 reads as follows:

 

“It covers all live non-human vertebrates and higher invertebrates such as the Cephalopoda and Decapoda. It also covers embryos, fetuses and larval forms and their treatment in a humane manner once they have progressed beyond half the gestation or incubation period of the relevant species, or they become capable of independent feeding, whichever comes first. 

 

NOTE 1   The researchers should submit proposals to use all invertebrates for consideration by the AECs. “

 

Research on all animal groups (including all invertebrate groups) as stated by the SANS10386:2021, section 1.3, including Note 1, will require UKZN AREC approval from 1 January 2025 onwards.

2. Who has access to notices?


Anybody can access the notice system, however you will not be able to place notices from off-campus.
