ICCVAM Invites Comments on the Roadmap to Reduce Animal Testing to Evaluate
Chemical Safety

or ICCVAM, is coordinating the development of a U.S. strategic roadmap that
will reduce animal testing in risk assessments of chemicals and medical
products. On behalf of ICCVAM, EPA is inviting those interested to provide
input relevant to this effort.
These approaches will ultimately be more efficient, reduce costs to industry
and yield results that are more predictive and relevant to human health
outcomes, as well as more humane. This effort will reduce, refine, and replace
the use of animals in testing while maintaining and promoting scientific
quality and the protection of human and animal health and the environment.
ICCVAM is composed of representatives from 16 U.S. federal regulatory and
research agencies that require, use, generate, or disseminate toxicological and
safety testing information. As a participating member of ICCVAM, EPA’s role is
to encourage the development and use of alternatives to animal test methods,
ensure that new methods are valid, review test method recommendations, and as
appropriate, adopt these alternatives in our own regulatory programs.
Comments can be submitted by email to
ICCVAMquestions@xxxxxxxxxxxxx<mailto:ICCVAMquestions@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> by August
31, 2017.
Guidelines for submitting public comments and more information about the
strategic roadmap are available on the NICEATM
website.<http://links.govdelivery.com/track?type=click&enid=ZWFzPTEmbXNpZD0mYXVpZD0mbWFpbGluZ2lkPTIwMTcwNTA4LjczMTM0NDMxJm1lc3NhZ2VpZD1NREItUFJELUJVTC0yMDE3MDUwOC43MzEzNDQzMSZkYXRhYmFzZWlkPTEwMDEmc2VyaWFsPTE3MDQ5MTA3JmVtYWlsaWQ9a3N1bGxpdmFuQHBjcm0ub3JnJnVzZXJpZD1rc3VsbGl2YW5AcGNybS5vcmcmdGFyZ2V0aWQ9JmZsPSZtdmlkPSZleHRyYT0mJiY=&&&102&&&https://ntp.niehs.nih.gov/pubhealth/evalatm/natl-strategy/index.html>
