alternative test methods

Alternative test methods are different ways to evaluate or measure a product, process, or system without using traditional testing procedures. They often aim to be faster, cheaper, or more environmentally friendly while maintaining accuracy and safety. These methods can include computer simulations, chemical analyses, or other techniques that provide similar information. The goal is to find efficient options that reduce costs, save time, and minimize resource use, ensuring products meet quality and safety standards without relying solely on standard testing procedures.
