promotes the scientific validation and
regulatory acceptance of toxicological
and safety-testing methods that more
accurately assess the safety and hazards
of chemicals and products and that
reduce, refine (decrease or eliminate
pain and distress), or replace animal
use. The ICCVAM Authorization Act of
2000 (42 U.S.C. 285l–3) established
ICCVAM as a permanent interagency

alternative test methods and strategies.
NICEATM and ICCVAM work
collaboratively to evaluate new and
improved test methods and strategies
applicable to the needs of U.S. federal
agencies. NICEATM and ICCVAM
welcome the public nomination of new,
revised, and alternative test methods
and strategies for validation studies and
technical evaluations. Additional
information about ICCVAM and
