On the Regional Seminar for World Animal Health Organization (WOAH) National Focal Points for Veterinary Laboratories Tokyo, Japan, 16-18 July 2024 Jean-Luc Troch (Diagnostics for Animals President) & Jean-Louis Hunault (D4A General Secretary), were invited to make a presentation on the harmonization landscape, technical equivalency project to discover regulatory equivalency (or convergence), possible harmonization for the registration of the diagnostic kits of Industry perspective.

The opportunity for our global Federation to come back to the collaboration with WOAH and present our available assets to strengthen private-public partnerships:

  • Date base of 3 000 Diagnostics
  • Mapping of the regulation 120 countries
  • Service request submission desk

Mainly focused on Europe and US areas historically, D4A is recently developing its representation in Asia.

For Jean-Luc Troch “This dialogue opens the opportunity for a more fruitful cooperation with WOAH Member countries as well as WOAH Reference Laboratories and Collaborating Centers in Asia and the Pacific Region”.
