These include ensuring that research and science-based work is grounded in documented approaches, is supported by validated data and information and that results and conclusions are independent and unbiased.
Representatives are required to ensure that there are no actual or perceived Conflicts of Interest that might bias work they are undertaking or otherwise call into question the validity or accuracy of their work.
