EURL ECVAM (European Union Reference Laboratory for Alternatives to Animal Testing)
EURL ECVAM Recommendations
The aim of an EURL ECVAM Recommendation is to provide EURL ECVAM views on the validity of the test method in question, to advice on possible regulatory applicability, limitations and proper scientific use of the test methods, and to suggest possible follow-up activities in view of addressing knowledge gaps.
During the development of its Recommendation EURL ECVAM consults with its consultation body for Preliminary Assessment of Regulatory Relevance (PARERE) and its EURL ECVAM Stakeholder Forum (ESTAF). Moreover, EURL ECVAM consults with other Commission services and its international validation partner organisations of the International Collaboration on Alternative Test Methods (ICATM). Moreover, before finalising its recommendations, EURL ECVAM invites comments from the general public and, if applicable, from the test method submitter.
