Article 23(2) of the European Union Directive 2010/63/EU, which regulates welfare provisions for animals used for scientific purposes, requires that staff involved in the care and use of animals for scientific purposes be adequately educated and trained before they undertake any such work. However, the nature and extent of such training is not stipulated in the Directive. To facilitate Member States in fulfilling their education and training obligations, the European Commission developed a common Education and Training Framework, which was endorsed by the Member States Competent Authorities. An Education & Training Platform for Laboratory Animal Science (ETPLAS) Working Group was recently established to develop further guidance to the Learning Outcomes in the Framework, with the objective to clarify the levels of knowledge and understanding required by trainees, and to provide the criteria by which these Learning Outcomes should be assessed. Using the Framework document as a starting point, assessment criteria for the Learning Outcomes of the modules required for Function A persons (carrying out procedures on animals) for rats, mice and zebrafish were created with sufficient detail to enable trainees, providers and assessors to appreciate the level of knowledge, understanding and skills required to pass each module. Adoption and utilization of this document by training providers and accrediting or approving bodies will harmonize introductory education and training for those involved in the care and use of animals for scientific purposes within the European Union, promote mutual recognition of training within and between Member States and therefore free movement of personnel.

欧盟指令 2010/63/EU 第 23(2) 条规定了用于科学目的的动物的福利规定，要求参与科学目的动物护理和使用的工作人员在从事任何工作之前必须接受充分的教育和培训。这样的工作。但是，指令中没有规定此类培训的性质和范围。为了促进成员国履行其教育和培训义务，欧盟委员会制定了一个共同的教育和培训框架，并得到了成员国主管当局的认可。最近成立了实验动物科学教育培训平台 (ETPLAS) 工作组，以进一步指导框架中的学习成果，目的是澄清学员所需的知识和理解水平，并提供评估这些学习成果的标准。以框架文件为起点，为大鼠、小鼠和斑马鱼的功能 A 人员（对动物执行程序）所需的模块的学习成果的评估标准制定了足够的细节，以使受训人员、提供者和评估者能够理解通过每个模块所需的知识、理解和技能水平。培训提供者和认证或批准机构对本文件的采用和使用将协调对欧盟范围内从事科学目的的动物护理和使用的人员的入门教育和培训，
