The research analysed policy solutions that are applicable to NAMs in general and that could be applied broadly across sectors. Where there is broad consensus, we have been able to outline concrete measures. These relate to the regulatory use of data; education and training strategies; and routes towards validation. With regards to the remaining areas of moderate and indeterminate consensus, we instead suggest further enquiry to enable the questions at issue to be refined and so better determine what actions are needed for greater acceptance of NAMs for regulatory purposes. Thematically, these enquiry areas relate to meeting protective aims; enhancing the assessment of risk; the domain of application of NAMs; enabling the broader adoption of NAMs; utility of the wider NAM community; engagement with the debate on NAM use; regulator-industry dialogue; and the evaluation of the role of soft law guidance. Additionally, this report identifies actions of relevance to the activities of specific Work Packages within PrecisionTox.
