浅谈实验动物饲养管理和使用机构如何避免“自我管理负担”

A Perspective on Self-imposed Regulatory Burden in a Laboratory Animal Care and Use Program

任何饲养管理和使用实验动物的机构都会尽可能地加强管理和要求以符合不同国家、省市或当地的相关法律法规及行业标准.欧美等地机构在建立和实施“实验动物饲养管理和使用计划（简称计划）”时往往试图将不合规的风险降至最低,从一方面来看,这加速了国际实验动物科学行业的发展和标准化;但是,从另一方面上说,往往会导致整个“计划”的冗余和表面化,增加机构的运行成本和预算,造成“自我管理负担”.本文就这些机构的“自我管理负担”的主要来源,如何评估机构存在“自我管理负担”以及如何避免“自我管理负担”等内容分别进行浅述,以期国内相关机构能以此为鉴,了解、评估、平衡自身机构的管理目标和管理能力,尽量避免“自我管理负担”.

Any institution which cares and uses laboratory animals must comply with national and local regulations and standards by enhancing management and compliance. The institutions always attempt to minimize the risks of non-compliance when they establish the ＂laboratory animal care and use program＂, this would accelerate the development and standardization of the global and local industry of laboratory animal science, on the other hand, the program often leads to redundant and superficial, the costs and budget of the program will increase dramatically, and finally it results in ＂self-imposed regulatory burden＂. In this article, we will discuss about the major resources of ＂self-imposed regulatory burden＂, how to evaluate ＂self-imposed regulatory burden＂ in the institution, and how to avoid ＂selfimposed regulatory burden＂. At the end, we expect that the domestic institutions could make these as a guide, to understand, evaluate and balance their own managing goals and capabilities, to avoid the ＂self- imposed regulatory burden＂ at all.
