4 ICATM cooperation Stakeholder dialogue ECVAM Validation Process Key documents ICATM: Exchange Info. on promising submissions. Decide how to collaborate Relevance assessment: PARERE: regulatory relevance ESTAF: user relevance 1. Assessment of submitted test method Scientific aspects. Stakeholder relevance (priority setting). Optimisation (if necessary). Test Submission PARERE report ESTAF View ICATM: Review aspects of VS. Propose VMG members and observers Public input on planned Validation Study. Submission of existing information. 2. Planning & conduct of (Pre-)Validation Study (VS). Test method evaluation. Validation Project Plan (VPP) Validation Study Report (VSR) ICATM: Proposal of experts for ESAC WG supporting the ESAC peer review. 3.

7 ICATM International Cooperation on Alternative Test Methods Founded in 2009 by EURL ECVAM (EU), JaCVAM (Japan), NICEATM-ICCVAM (USA), Health Canada, and KoCVAM (Republic of Korea). Recent interest from BraCVAM (Brazil) and Chinese Agencies. Working together at every step of the validation process (evaluation of submissions, design and execution of studies, peer review, recommendations, and development of guidance and guidelines). Plans for closer cooperation in strategy formulation.

8 ICATM International Cooperation on Alternative Test Methods Recent acceptance of 3 new OECD Test Guidelines and 1 Guidance Document, 2 draft test guidelines going through OECD process. Peer review of 4 validation studies underway and 1 test method recommendation in preparation. Total of 16 validation studies in progress. Agreement to develop a common web-based information system for ICATM activities. 8
