Being the third institution in Austria, JSW Life Sciences received full accreditation from the Association for Assessment and Accreditation of Laboratory Animal Care (AAALAC) International off the cuff without further requirements.

AAALAC International is a private, nonprofit organization that promotes the humane treatment of animals in science through voluntary accreditation and assessment programs. Today, more than 840 organizations (i.e. companies, universities, hospitals, government agencies and other research institutions) in 33 countries have earned AAALAC accreditation, demonstrating their commitment to responsible animal care and use.

The Council on Accreditation of the AAALAC commends JSW Life Sciences for providing and maintaining an excellent program of laboratory animal care and use. Especially noteworthy they found the strong institutional commitment to the program as well as the investments in building and infrastructure, the well managed and clean facility.

The AAALAC accreditation concertedly with the GLP certification for all of our labs since more than a decade underlines the high quality standards at JSW Life Sciences.
