Animal Welfare Act 1999

Use of animals in research, testing, and teaching - Reviews of code holders and animal ethics committees

108: Conduct of independent review

You could also call this:

"How an independent review is done by a special reviewer to check an organisation"

When an independent review is done, it is conducted by a special person called an accredited reviewer. This reviewer is chosen by the code holder, who is the organisation being reviewed. You need to know that the code holder is also responsible for paying the accredited reviewer for their work.

The amount of money the accredited reviewer gets paid is decided by the code holder and the reviewer together. They agree on how much the reviewer will be paid for doing the review.

The accredited reviewer does the review to check how the code holder is doing, and the code holder pays them for this work.
