Once the test method has been validated, the ECVAM Scientific Advisory Committee (ESAC) produces a statement or recommendation on the use of the test method. In some cases, regulatory acceptance is achieved via adoption of the test method by a relevant European commission (e.g., a new Commission Regulation) or a new OECD Test Guideline (Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD)).

The value of non-Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) chemical production is expected to almost triple by 2020, while in OECD countries it will increase by about only 60% [76]. Western Europe is predicted to experience a large reduction in growth rates when comparing 1990-2000 with predictions for 2000-2010 [76]. The shift towards service-based industries in Western countries at the expense of sectors such as agriculture, manufacturing and durable goods, further implies a move away from chemicals [76].
