In addition to biological testing methods, alternative detection methods, such as chemical methods and in vitro assays, should be allowed if it is demonstrated that the performance of the chosen methods is at least as effective as the biological method and that their implementation provides an equivalent level of public health protection.
Lisaks bioloogilistele meetoditele tuleks lubada alternatiivseid tuvastusmeetodeid, nagu keemilised meetodid ja in vitro uuringud, kui tõendatakse, et valitud meetodid on sama tõhusad kui bioloogiline meetod ning et nende kasutamine tagab rahva tervise samaväärse kaitse.
