International Association for the Recognition of Toxicologists (IART)

Memorandum of Understanding to the International Union of Toxicologists (IUTOX)

IART and IUTOX share a global responsibility for the promotion and recognition of toxicology. IART as defined in its charter, has been established to enhance the quality and influence of toxicology throughout the world by establishing a forum for the development, review and adoption of criteria for recognizing qualified experts in toxicology, assisting toxicology organizations in establishing these criteria and using them in the recognition of toxicologists, and promoting the identification of education and training needs to enhance expertise in toxicology. 

Criteria to be examined include but are not limited to; education and training, professional experience, contributions to toxicology (including publications, reports, etc.), active practice, communication, peer review/professional recognition, and examination procedures.

IART, as described in the attached IART Charter, is a financially self-supporting organization, in which each participating organization will financially support its delegate and alternate.

The IART asks the IUTOX General Assembly -
