Workshop
International Collaboration on Cosmetics Safety Workshop. Building Confidence in New Approach Methods (NAMs) for Regulatory Use: Opportunities to Advance Beyond the 6-Pack

Building Confidence in NAMs – Post Conference Workshop

Past Event

October 4, 2024

The Mayflower Hotel, Washington DC

This public workshop aims to bring together regulators, industry and non-governmental organizations to provide their perspective on building confidence in NAMs for regulatory use, especially moving beyond their use for the ‘6-pack’ (the battery of tests used to evaluate acute toxicity). After short presentations from several representatives providing their perspective, including the EPA, Health Canada and PETA International Science Consortium e.V., and others to be confirmed, there will be a moderated panel discussion. Next the workshop participants will do a deep dive into two case studies, one on NAM-augmented read-across and one on ab initio assessment, before wrapping up and describing the next steps.
