All NAMs in one place
ABOUT NAMs.Network
New Approach Methodologies, or NAMs, are increasingly becoming the new standard for assessing the safety of chemicals, cosmetics and advanced materials. New guidance, regulatory expectations and implementation frameworks are being developed around their use, while non-animal approaches are moving beyond the role of an alternative. They are becoming an integral part of risk assessment and safety-related decision-making.
The challenge is that information about available methods is still scattered across provider websites, databases, scientific publications and research project outputs.
NAMs.Network brings this knowledge together in one open-access hub. It shows which methods are available, how far they have progressed towards regulatory acceptance, where they can be applied, and who develops or provides them. This makes it easier to follow developments in the field and identify solutions that match specific testing and decision-making needs.

Who is it for?
Industry and CROs
when you design safer products or look for non-animal alternatives for key endpoints
Labs and method providers
when you want your NAMs-based services to be visible
and easy to find globally
Researchers and consortia
when you develop new approaches and want to see where they sit next to other methods
Regulators and authorities
when you need a transparent view of regulatory status
of available methods
