New Approach Methodologies (NAMs) are modern scientific approaches used to assess the safety of chemicals and products without relying solely on traditional animal testing. They combine advanced laboratory methods, computer-based models, and existing scientific knowledge to deliver robust, regulatorily accepted safety data.

Rather than relying on a single test, NAMs integrate different sources of data to build a scientifically robust safety assessment.

Regulatory frameworks such as REACH, Biocides, and Cosmetics increasingly encourage the use of NAMs where scientifically justified, helping companies meet compliance requirements more efficiently, ethically, and cost-effectively.
