中国化妆品动物试验立法完善——与欧盟立法比较

对化妆品进行安全性评价及数据分析，离不开动物试验。欧盟最早通过立法规范化妆品动物试验，对他国相关立法具有重要的指导和借鉴意义。中国作为世界第三大化妆品市场，如果不禁止化妆品动物试验，不仅将面临化妆品动物福利贸易壁垒，而且无法进口未经动物试验的化妆品。中国应通过立法鼓励化妆品生产商使用动物“替代方法”研发新产品，并逐步禁止化妆品动物试验。

The Improvement of Legislation of Cosmetic Testing on Animals A Comparison of the European Union and China

The safety evaluation and data analysis of cosmetic products are inseparable from animal testing. The European Union is the first area to enact legislation on cosmetic animal testing, which offers important guidance and references for other countries. As the world ＇s third-largest cosmetics market, China would confront trade barri- ers and cannot import cosmetics without animal testing unless cosmetic animal testing is banned. In this regard, China should enact legislation to encourage cosmetic product manufacturers use ＂ alternative methods＂ to develop new products and gradually ban cosmetic animal testing.
