The ¸£Àû¼§ÊÓƵQualified Testing Sites program connects manufacturers of oral health care products with research sites qualified to test products’ safety and efficacy. Manufacturers applying to the ¸£Àû¼§ÊÓƵSeal program may choose from the ¸£Àû¼§ÊÓƵQualified Testing Sites directory of vetted research sites, ensuring high-quality studies are conducted without the need for additional confirmatory testing.
¸£Àû¼§ÊÓƵQualified Testing Sites undergo a vetting process by the ¸£Àû¼§ÊÓƵCouncil on Scientific Affairs and meet the following criteria:
- Research sites are fully independent
- Necessary protocols are followed
- Sites produce accurate valid and reliable data
If the testing site meets these strict criteria, it earns Qualified status. This indicates to product manufacturers that the ¸£Àû¼§ÊÓƵhas evaluated the site for its ability to conduct required testing in support of Seal Program applications.
Benefits of working with an ¸£Àû¼§ÊÓƵQualified Testing Site include:
- Streamlines the process of finding a reliable testing site with high quality data
- Qualified Sites are dental school labs with rigorous protocols and highly competitive pricing
- No need for additional confirmatory testing
