Demonstrated competence in laboratory animal science (LAS) is a prerequisite in Directive 2010/63/EU to work with animals used in scientific procedures, as it is essential to increase animal welfare, improve the quality of science, promote the acceptability of animal research and meet the demands of free movement of personnel and scientific exchange. Although since 2010 there have been eight clear steps to achieving the required competence of personnel working with animals used in science, it is not uncommon to see documentation for individuals who have just completed an LAS course that contains only education and training elements (three steps), for which the status of competence in LAS is granted. Here, a simplified summary of how competence in LAS should be delivered in eight steps according to EU recommendations is presented.
在实验室动物科学（LAS）方面表现出的能力是遵守 2010/63/EU 指令进行科学程序中使用动物工作的前提条件，因为这对于提高动物福利、提高科学质量、促进动物研究的可接受性以及满足人员自由流动和科学交流的需求至关重要。尽管自 2010 年以来，已经有八项明确的步骤来实现从事科学研究中使用动物的人员所需的能力，但我们仍然经常看到一些文件，这些文件仅包含接受 LAS 课程培训的个人的教育和培训内容（三个步骤），而这些文件就授予了其在 LAS 方面的能力地位。在此，根据欧盟的建议，本文简要概述了 LAS 能力应该分八个步骤进行交付的方法。
