Zhonghong Boyuan won the international AAALAC certification! Anchor quality with high standards, strictly adhere to bioethics, and build a solid \"golden benchmark\" for biomedical research

  In the golden autumn of October, golden osmanthus is fragrant. On October 25, Zhonghong Boyuan came to a double happiness. It obtained AAALAC certification and ISO quality system, environmental system, and occupational health system certification at the same time. This marks that Zhonghong Boyuan has reached a new level in animal facility management, animal ethics and welfare, and quality management standardization. It has achieved international standards and will be able to better empower customer experiments!

  Zhonghong Boyuan has successfully obtained full certification from the International Laboratory Animal Assessment and Accreditation Council (AAALAC)!


  

  ADVANTAGESAALAC certification advantages

  Recognition of top international standards

  

  Our animal facilities, management procedures, veterinary care, personnel training and scientific research ethics have all reached the gold standard widely recognized by the global scientific community.

  Experimental data quality assurance

  The reliability and reproducibility of scientific data are inseparable from high-quality experimental animal management and welfare protection. AAALAC accreditation is a strong endorsement of the international credibility of research quality and results.

  Advantages of FDA/EMA drug declaration

  Preclinical data from AAALAC-certified laboratories are more likely to be accepted by international regulatory agencies (for example, FDA GLP regulations clearly recommend the use of AAALAC-certified facilities).

  International Journal Passport

  Top journals such as "Nature" and "Science" require animal experiments to declare AAALAC accreditation, otherwise the risk of rejection increases significantly.

  About AAALAC

  AAALAC introduction and review scope


  

  AAALAC is mainly committed to the evaluation and certification of the management and use of experimental animals to achieve the purpose of maintaining animal welfare and ensuring personnel safety during the research process. AAALAC certification has become a symbol of the quality, welfare and biosafety of experimental animals, a quality mark for international cutting-edge biomedical research, and an important basic condition for participating in international exchanges, scientific research cooperation and competition. In view of this, in order to ensure the quality of animal experiments and promote the development of scientific research, the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and the European Union strongly recommend that animal experiments be conducted in laboratories with AAALAC certification. At the same time, the world's top 500 pharmaceutical giants jointly stated that animal testing of their pharmaceutical products will be completed in AAALAC-certified units.

  The review scope of AAALAC accreditation includes the evaluation of all aspects of the laboratory animal care and use plan. According to the definition of AAALAC, the laboratory animal care and use plan is the various procedures and overall performance of the institution involving the management and use of experimental animals in research, education, testing or breeding, mainly including (but not limited to):

  Laboratory animal care and use plan

  Animal environment, feeding and management

  Veterinary care

  Overall planning of laboratory animal facilities

  AAALAC certification results

  For units that apply for the first time, the certification results are divided into four types, namely full accreditation, accreditation with condition, provisional status (provisional status, which can last up to 24 months), and withhold accreditation. In the first two cases, a "certification plate" is awarded.

  Conclusion

  AAALAC certification is by no means the end, but the beginning of a dynamic optimization cycle. We will continue to pass:

  ✅ Annual internal audit (based on the 9th edition of "Guide for the Care and Use of Laboratory Animals")

  ✅Three-year international review (on-site verification by veterinarians/ethics experts dispatched by AAALAC)

  ✅ The technical committee continues to iterate (evaluate emerging alternative technology solutions quarterly)

  Ensure the spiral upgrade of animal welfare and scientific research innovation, so that every scientific data can withstand the dual test of ethics and time.
