The Animals (Scientific Procedures) Act 1986 (ASPA) governs the use of animals in scientific research in the UK. It covers all activities involving “living vertebrate animals” and prescribes a set of licensing, welfare and husbandry requirements that must be followed. 
In addition, compliance with specific pieces of legislation, such as the European Union’s Regulation on Animal Experimentation (EC No 12) is essential to ensure your research meets acceptable standards.
