For the reason that "animals used for toxicological and other safety evaluation", column 2.6 of EU Table 2, is broken down in several EU Tables addressing non comparable parameters, it was not possible to apply the above conservative rule between EU Table 2 and Tables 3, 6 and 7.

The first of these relationships is the total number of animals used by species, column 1.2 of the EU Table 1, which is broken down into purposes of experiments in EU Table 2.

The second relationship concerns column 2.6 of EU Table 2 "animals used for toxicological and other safety evaluation" which is broken down into type of products/endpoints, EU Table 3, into Regulatory requirements, EU Table 6, and into type of toxicological tests, EU Table 7.
