In the present paper we introduce a generalization of the complete invariance property (CIP) for metric spaces, which we will call the ε-approximated complete invariance property (ε-ACIP). For our goals, we will use the so called degree of nondensifiability (DND) which, roughly speaking, measures (in the specified sense) the distance from a bounded metric space to its class of Peano continua. Our main result relates the ε-ACIP with the DND and, in particular, proves that a densifiable metric space has the ε-ACIP for each ε>0. Also, some essentials differences between the CIP and the ε-ACIP are shown.
