International Cooperation on Alternative

KoCVAM was announced in 2009 and established in 2010. In March 2011, KoCVAM joined the 2009 agreement known as the International Cooperation on Alternative Test Methods (ICATM) that had previously been formed with Europe, Canada, the USA, and Japan (33). This agreement will promote international cooperation on the validation of new test methods. It is envisioned that this cooperative effort will result in the most vigorous and robust science, thereby promoting regulatory acceptance.
