Guidance documents describe FDA’s interpretation of our policy on a regulatory issue (21 CFR 10.115(b)). These documents usually discuss more specific products or issues that relate to the design, production, labeling, promotion, manufacturing, and testing of regulated products. Guidance documents may also relate to the processing, content, and evaluation or approval of submissions as well as to inspection and enforcement policies. Guidance documents are not regulations and alternative approaches may be chosen to comply with laws and regulations.

The Biosafety, Biosecurity, and Emerging Biotechnology Policy Division focuses on the development and implementation of policies that promote the responsible conduct and oversight of life sciences research. Specific areas of focus include the NIH Guidelines for Research Involving Recombinant or Synthetic Nucleic Acid Molecules (NIH Guidelines), dual use research of concern (DURC), and the NIH Stem Cell Registry.

The Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) is an international organisation that works to build better policies for better lives.
