§ 2. No animal experience can be performed if the desired result can be achieved by another method or strategy of experimentation that does not involve the use of living animals and is recognized in European Union legislation.
§ 3. In case of different possibilities, the choice between experiences is guided by the desire to select those that best meet the following requirements:
1° use the least animals possible;
2° use animals that are less likely to experience pain, suffering, anxiety or sustained damage;
3° cause the least possible pain, suffering, anxiety or lasting damage;
4° be most likely to provide satisfactory results.
§ 4. Animal experiments are always, except if not appropriate, conducted under general or local anaesthesia and using analgesics or other appropriate method, so that pain, suffering and anxiety are limited to a minimum.
Procedures leading to severe lesions that can cause intense pain are not conducted without anaesthesia.
It is possible not to use anesthesia if it is considered more traumatic to the animal than the procedure itself or if anesthesia is incompatible with the purpose of the animal experiment.
No substance that prevents or limits the ability of animals to express pain cannot be administered to animals without an adequate level of anaesthesia or analgesia. In cases where the administration of such a substance is nevertheless necessary, scientific elements are provided, accompanied by details on the anesthetic or analgesic protocol.
Animals likely to experience pain when anesthesia has ceased to produce its effect receive preventive and postoperative analgesic treatment or are treated using other appropriate methods to relieve pain, provided that this is compatible with the purpose of the animal experiment.
As soon as the purpose of animal experience has been achieved, appropriate measures are taken to minimize the suffering of the animal.
§ 5. To the extent possible, death as a limit of animal experience is avoided and replaced by suitable early limits.
When death cannot be avoided as a limiting point, the animal experience is designed to lead to the death of as few animals as possible and to minimize the duration and intensity of the animal's suffering and, as far as possible, to ensure a death without pain. "
