Workshop description
The ASPIS Academy session on Good In Vitro Method Practices (GIVIMP) will provide a comprehensive overview of quality principles that underpin the reliability, reproducibility, and regulatory acceptance of new approach methodologies (NAMs). As in vitro and other non-animal methods become increasingly central to safety assessment, the implementation of robust quality frameworks is essential to ensure data integrity and build confidence across academia, industry, and regulatory bodies.
The session will introduce the core elements of the OECD GIVIMP guidance, highlighting practical aspects of quality management, documentation, personnel training, and method control in in vitro laboratories. Speakers will present complementary perspectives from an international testing institute, industry, and a certification body, addressing real-world challenges in implementing GIVIMP, integrating it with existing quality systems such as GLP, and preparing laboratories for external audits and certification processes.
Through short expert presentations, a moderated panel, and open discussion, the session aims to identify common barriers to GIVIMP uptake, share best practices, and discuss training and capacity-building needs within the ASPIS community and beyond. The session will support laboratories at different stages of GIVIMP implementation and help strengthen confidence in NAM-based data for regulatory decision-making.
