ECVAM (European Centre for Validation of Alternative Methods)

ECVAM (European Centre for Validation of Alternative Methods) is a research organization that develops and promotes non-animal testing methods for safety and quality assessments. Its goal is to find scientific, ethical, and practical alternatives to animal testing in fields like medicine, cosmetics, and chemicals. ECVAM evaluates new laboratory tests and tools to ensure they are reliable and effective, helping regulators and industries make safer decisions without relying on animal experiments. This approach supports animal welfare while maintaining high standards for scientific accuracy.
