Guidance for Evaluating the Performance of Alternatives Fit-for-Purpose Performance
This guidance is intended to support decision-making by governments, businesses, and others associated with the evaluation of performance in the conduct of an alternatives assessment. It emphasizes a focus on fit-for-purpose performance, a strategy for assessing performance based on application-specific contexts. This guidance builds on and broadens the thinking around performance when evaluating and choosing safer alternatives and draws primarily from two well-established alternatives assessment frameworks: The Interstate Chemicals Clearinghouse (IC2) Alternatives Assessment Guide and the National Research Council (NRC) Framework on the Selection of Chemical Alternatives.
