This section defines two terms used in nearby sections. An 'alternative test method' reduces, refines, or replaces animal testing. An 'ICCVAM test recommendation' is ICCVAM's report on a test method's expert review.

(1) Alternative test method: This term covers any new or revised test method that does at least one of three things: reduces how many animals are needed, changes procedures to reduce or remove animal pain and distress (or improve animal well-being), or replaces animals with non-animal systems, or replaces one animal species with a simpler one — for example, using an invertebrate instead of a mammal. (2) ICCVAM test recommendation: This term means a summary report that ICCVAM writes after a panel of scientific experts reviews a test method.
