The Research Facility Inspection Guide is intended to be a reference document to assist the inspector. It does not supersede the Animal Welfare Act, the Animal Welfare Act Regulations and Standards, Animal Care policies, standard procedures, or the inspector's professional judgement.

Due to differences in download speeds, we are providing the Research Facility Guide in three sizes: In one file containing everything, In multiple files by chapters, and in multiple files by sections. All files are in PDF format. The download sizes are specified next to each.
